How big was your omelet?

I find myself a little hungry intermittently, but nothing like the levels of appetite I had before this surgery, considering how little I'm eating now. I started puree a few days ago and can only eat 2 oz. at most in one sitting. I find myself slowly consuming my meal over hours, long after it's gotten cold, because my stomach just won't let food in any faster. Wearying, spending so much time taking in such a minimal amount of sustenance. I hope this evens out in time and I can get to a place of healthy, normal eating, if on the small side, quantity-wise. Everyone says this gets better. The first few months to a year (?) are just said to be rough for most people.

I totally agree. My omelet consist of one egg, less than one gram of cheese, a slice of bell pepper and spinach. It took me a hour to eat a little more than a half. I really need to get myself on a better eating schedule and I think I want be so hungry. I'm not eating between meals because I am sitting at my desk working and then I get extremely hungry.

I also have read where some people said they have to make themselves eat because they're not hungry.

Yes, I am.

If you continue to feel a constant sense of hunger then maybe talk to your surgeon about increasing your PPI. I had to take one in the am and one in the p.m. for the first three months postop.

2 weeks 3 days post op. I'm hungry, just can't eat much..... the things I manage to get down aren't the healthiest but I have to eat something. I'm still drinking Protein Shakes 1-2 per day. Today I had 2-1/2oz mashed potatoes thinned with beef broth, approx 2-3 oz yogurt, strained hot/sour Soup, crystal light Decaf ice tea and Water. Tomorrow I'm going to try puréed hot/sour soup, seems to be my craving. I've only lost 10 lb since surgery but my clothes are falling off. My total weight loss to date is 43 lbs.

So I have a purée food update. I was really hungry the first day. I am guessing because I was coming off the liquid diet where I wasn't eating anything I was extremely hungry. Couldn't find a Soup I like, couldn't and still can't get down four bottles of Water, sick of the Protein Shakes, etc. those 21 days I was hating life and second guessing the decision I made. Now I can't even eat 2 oz of an omelet. After the second bite I feel my food sitting in my throat. I am from one extreme to the other.

I was the same way. Remember from your documentation where it says only try to eat a couple ounces at a time. It takes a while before you will be able to put much in your stomach at a time.

Also eggs can feel quite bulky.

I can't drink plain Water either so I use crystal light in mine. My fav is Decaf ice tea with lemon flavor. I tried puréed Soups already and they go down really good unlike plain broth which made me nauseous. I'm only getting one-two Protein Shakes in. When did anyone start their calcium chews?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
