Im hungry



Recommended Posts

When I was in that stage I drank Protein Shakes and Protein Water so I was able to have some non-protein 2 oz. meals.

Hummus

Smashed banana

Premade mashed potatoes (I don't eat them now, but when I was getting like 300 calories a day I did.)

Yogurt

Mashed avocado

Also, for me, thirsty can seem like hungry, so make sure you are staying hydrated. Good luck!

I didn't have to do purees - went straight to softs.

But in my full liquids phase here is what I thrived on. It helps with hunger to keeps carbs to 20g or less per day. Swearsies.

1. Cottage cheese or ricotta (ricotta bake from WorldAccordingToEggface blog)

2. Foil wrapped tilapia and basa filets with lemon

3. chicken or tuna or salmon salad blitzed to a puree (pate) consistency with lots of Greek yogurt and dijon mustard to make it super creamy and smooth. You can even lighten it up with ff Fairlife Milk.

4. Cream Soups with extra Protein Powder added to them. (Did this A LOT!! Made every flavor you can think of: pizza, alfredo, mexican, asian, etc.)

5. Blended soups/stews to a puree.

6. SF Jello with yogurt (still love it)

7. SF popsicles

8. Protein pudding (SF jello pudding made with Premier Protein and FF Fairlife Milk)

9. Green smoothies made with protein powder, frozen spinach, frozen blueberries, Peanut Butter powder, liquid stevia.

10. Roasted Smashed Cauliflower puree with greek yogurt, nutritional yeast, and herbs. Same thing with canned pumpkin.

I am on puree as well, second week! So far I have done cream of wheat, ricotta bake, egg salad but you can also do chicken salad, tuna salad, puree Soups as well, do Protein Shakes in a blender to mix it up a bit, refried beans.....I found that there is actually a lot you can do on puree. I'm enjoying it so far :)

Cream of wheat with Protein Powder added
Turkey lunchmeat with a tiny bit of mayo and seasoning so it was like a spread
pureed eggs that tasted like deviled eggs
Cream Soups with added protein
Cottage cheese

And I also freeze Protein Shakes in a little ramekin or popsicle bag to make it feel like a treat. If it freeze it in a bowl I try to stir it a couple times and then eat when its the consistency of soft serve. Eating it with a spoon made it feel like eating. I used baby spoons to extend it.

      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.
