Am I doing this all wrong?



Recommended Posts

I am on full liquids and 10 days post OP. I am having no issue eating/ drinking my Soup. I just ate 7oz of cream potato soup (minus potato) no problem in like 5 to 10 minutes. I feel like I could keep going and not feel restricted. Same with Water. I can do more than just tiny sips. Also I feel hungry all the time. Help me please.

I had rny on 10/9/19

SW 289 and down to 261.

Fluids aren’t really going to give you that “full” feeling. Once you start food, you’ll feel it

Are you getting enough Protein? Most Soups are very low in protein and high carb. The more carbs or hidden sugars, the hungrier you will feel. Getting 50-60 grams of protein a day will keep you full longer. Also the type of protein helps. A blend of whey and casein protein, the casein keeps you full. I use PEScience select Protein Powder. It works well mixed with yogurt too.

if you like soups there is Unjury protein broth. BariatricPal Store has a good variety of soups too. There is a sale until the 21st on their brand of products. They even have a broth with Vitamins.

They gave me those one ounce cups after surgery and told me to drink 3 ounces of Water and 2 ounces of Protein Shakes in one hour. That lasted about 1 day for me. I told the husband just give me a normal 8 ounce Protein Drink and a normal cup of water. I drink normal. I cant chug water like i used to but I don't sip it either. I put away 32 ounces of water in about 30 minutes. I also felt hungry while on the liquid diet. My mom reminded me that it is head hunger not stomach hunger. So every time I thought I felt hungry, I would tell myself I was thirsty instead. You'll feel more human again once you start solids.

That was the hardest part for me in the liquid diet. Just didnt feel normal. Felt like I was starving, my pee was weird, my insides felt weird. I even convinced myself I smelled different. It can play some serious mind games with you for sure.

I had bypass on 9/24. I am recovering well. Energy is still lacking though.

      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.
