Phentermine?

[teedsg 251]

I think I ate too much yesterday. I drank 60 grams of Protein, 32 Oz Water, 2 sugar free Popsicles, 2 sugar free pudding, and 1/2 cup reduce fat cream of chicken Soup.< /p>

Wondering if I should take phentermine?

Perhaos the issue is ur not including any chewable Protein, like chicken, turkey, fish. Drinking the protein isnt going to keep u full feeling for very long, which is what we need. Scrap the pudding and popsicles and Soup and grab some tuna (breaks up really really well after 10 chews!) Or deli meats. U can eat food food right?

That's the thing, my plan is super strict. I'm 21 days post op going into my 4th week. Only thing on there is sf. Popsicles, broth, cream Soups, Decaf coffee and tea. Sf pudding, Protein Shakes. Water, grits, oatmeal, thin cream of wheat

No! No! No! That's not a long term solution, and probably not advisable that close to a major surgery. Once you start eating solid Protein, you should definitely feel the restriction. Are you feeling hungry? Are you taking a ppi?

Yes, I feel hungry most of the time. Wondering if something wrong with me. I don't feel satisfied and feeling hungry most of the time. If I can get through this week, and stay busy, I can make it. And, I'm still stalling on weight loss all week. [emoji17] What is ppi?

A ppi is a proton pump inhibitor/acid reducer such as nexium or Prilosec, or prescription versions. Many people report acid reflux feels like hunger and it's one of the first questions that get asked when people say they're feeling hungry. Our surgeon prescribes 30 days of protonix, then we switch to Prilosec otc if needed.

I feel for you! My plan was not near as strict.

@gassygurl. Every time I asked to go to the puree stage, I get turned down. Smh, I've always been a foodie. This is the longest I've gone without food and I'm miserable. Too scared to cheat.

I'm far from an expert, but I would ask your surgeon about the ppi, or maybe even just try it (read the label and do your research). Even read here some more, and you will see how common it is.

You're also so close to the next stage! Kudos to you for hanging in there. You're doing great, hopefully they will advance you soon. You should be proud of you perseverance.

But, if was someone holding a gun to my head, I'd rather try puree a few days soon than take phentermine.

Thank you! At this point, I will try the ppi since I have some.

I thought I was hungry post surgery too, it ended up it was acid indigestion. It's just our nerves send the wrong signal. I started on Prilosec and it went away.

Phentermine is a horrible idea IMO. I'd talk to your surgical team if I were you.

Thanks! I hope it's indigestion. [emoji17]

Sounds like you and I have the same post op diet. if so don't forget you can take a bean Soup and puree it to a smooth consistency. That may help fight the hunger. But I was prescribed 40 mg of Omperazole (don't remember the over counter name) but the prescribed is in a split apart capsule and I was told it dissolves fast. I was scared to take it but I have had that same hunger feeling this helped mine go away.

Good Luck
