Hungry hungry hungry

[Bella2021 11]

So I’m a week post -op and on the purée stage. I find that I’m a lot more hungry on this stage more than anything else. While I was on liquid , I didn’t feel the need to eat. Now that I can, it’s seems like yes I do get the restriction but I still feel hungry. I rather be on real food stage at this point where I can eat a more balanced meal to fill me up. Anyone else experienced this ?

I was STARVING hungry until the 3-4th week post surgery when I started eating 1200 calories a day.

Okay I’m glad I’m not the only one

I'm 2 months out & I'm starving & my weight seemed to slowed down to about 3lbs. The Dr is gonna b so pissed. I'm even doing the stationary bike for 30 -45 mins a day along w stretching for 10 mins & my weight isn't going anywhere. I've kicked in walking for 10 mins plus helping out in the garden during the afternoon. I hv been constipated and I see being Constipation goes along w my back pain. But my weight is not budging..... so now I'm going back to stage 1 for a week but it won't get me dwn 10lbs in 2wks but I'm hoping

Any advice??

Today I upped my Protein . I had half of Premier Protein with some Greek yogurt and made a shake and I was pretty full off that and then I had some salmon with avocado. I think the shake helped to cut down some of the hungry. I’m new to this and figuring it out as well. Have you tried that ?

I hv tried the Protein Drink &added fruit & ice to Make a shake. I had a slice of cinnamon bread w a teaspoon of Peanut Butter & 1slice of Romain lettuce w a teaspoon of mayo & a flour of low salt turkey (i took out 2pieces of lettuces thinking i was gonna eat both, but I couldn't so i saved that for later. All of this wasn't in 1 seating... 😆 plus my exercise. O only lost 3lbs in 1 month. I'm doing something wrong of i can't lose more than that? Other days I'll eat oatmeal in the a.m., fish & lettuce & sugar free ice pops & chicken with a salad... no tomatoes. But I'll b starving after an hr of eating. I measure everything

What am I doing wrong?!

Trying cutting your carbs , no bread and adding healthy starch like pumpkin, broccoli, Brussel spout, spinach.

Raisin bread only has 100 calories &that's the only starch I hv.... DON'T MAKE ME CHOSE (CRYING) ok Imma give up the cinnamon raisin bread but that's usually one a day. I'm tryna mix things up. I gotta get my weight down so I don't hv to hear my Dr in 10days. My weight IS going dwn but very slllooowly.

I’m only 1 1/2 weeks out and on full liquid, but I’ve been starving since the beginning! I sometimes think he didn’t cut much stomach out as I can hold more than I’m supposed to. DREAMING of the puréed stage to get some eggs. I don’t know how I will lose a lot if always hungry. If I could have done this before, I wouldn’t need the surgery! I feel your pain!
