Hi everyone,

I'm new to this website and I was hoping I could get some thoughts/ input on my experiences five days post-op.

I had surgery on the 20th and have been on my liquid/ Protein diet since my second day post-op. It hasn't been that long on that diet, but I feel like I'm losing my mind a bit. I'm living at home with my family at the moment and I have to watch them eat good looking foods all day while I'm stuck sipping Water, tea, broth, and Protein Shakes all day. I have to do this diet until the 6th of July, which feels forever away at this point. After that, I start a week of pureed foods, which I doubt will be much more satisfying.

I was doing alright for the most part up until last night. Today is not much better. I'm feeling irritable and I wish I could just have something to eat. I'm not even craving unhealthy foods the way I used to and I'm not feeling hungry at all, I just feel like I need to eat something. I was under the impression that my cravings would be under control after surgery.

Ugh. Anyone else have similar experiences or tips to get through the next few weeks?

Hi I am 7 days out and this sounded like my day today totally! I cried, growled at my family. I was looking on pininterest and there were some cool recipes for puree food, next phase. I have another week on full liquids. I had bad urges today. But I made it thru barely. Hang in there you are not alone!

Another SD 6/20/17er here. 5 was a tougher day for me too. But since then much better. Should have tube removal Friday, and maybe get to move to pureed foods. Can't wait to add some thicker consistencies. All for taking it slow though, no whammies.
We've got this!

Thank you! I think part of my issue is that I haven't been doing much of anything since surgery and I used to turn to food when I was bored every now and then and now that's not an option anymore.

How are you feeling now?

      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.
