Hunger during post-op liquid diet? How do you cope?

[brianna_the_banana 6]

Hey all!

So I’m POD #7 & I’m starting to get hungry. Not the pains or anything, but I just feel the need to “crunch & munch” on something! I’ve tried ice cubes, but eh.

Any suggestions?

I am on day 7 as well . Surgery August 10th and yes I am hungry too ... I started adding PB2 powder to my Protein Shake and put it in the blender to make a real shake like pretend ... I have my post op tomorrow and I will definitely talk to my surgeon regarding That

I had surgery on 8/11... not going to lie I had puréed tuna with low-fat mayo and lemon juice blended all together... it was amazing. I know it's a little early. But I did great with it surprisingly. Only ate about an oz though.

Wait so did you blend it like with a spoon or on the blender ?

Blender first then a spoon too just to make sure it was super puréed. I also just tasted a bit and waited 20 minutes to see if I felt anything weird before I ate a regular portion.
