Help. I am very hungry!!! Tell me what to do



Recommended Posts

I got my band on August 27th. I have been diong so good; never any hunger pains, until today. My God, I could chew my leg off if I could bend down to it. I have not cheated, not even one time. I have lost right at 23 pounds. I asked my dr. when I would need a fill. He said that when I get hungry!!!! WELL, I AM HUNGRY NOW.

I am still on liquids. I will go to mushies on Monday, the 17th. I will go on solids one week later. Should I just ride this out. Pray for hubbie. I feel a real bitch attack on the horizon.:hungry::hungry::help::faint:

I know it is awful.....but it gets so much better, honest! Make sure that you are getting enough Protein and that will help the hunger. What worked for me was Campells Soup (in the box) Tomato and basil and I would add ricotta cheese, lots of Protein and it tasted like lasagna if you closed your eyes!! Add an extra Protein shake if you can and I promise it will get better, those mushies will be like heaven!

Good luck!

Oh and as far as hubby....just remind him that it will all be worth it....he will have his wonderful wife around much much longer!!! If that does not work, show him the thread of what improves after weight loss....I am sure that there is something in there that will interest him :D

Soup was the answer for me too. Just remember that this is a time for healing , not for losing. If you need to eat more often, do it. Eat whatever is allowed on your list. I really enjoyed egg flower soup. I had to spit out the peas, but for some reason, it felt more like dinner.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
