Ferocious Hunger!

[HeatherA 1]

3 weeks and 1 day and it's back! Until the 3 week mark I was mostly satisfied and had to force myself to eat. Yesterday it started... I am starving! Not really... I've been eating 900-1000 cals a day and I up'd it yesterday to 1200 since the scale is not moving (just as an experiment) and the timing could not have been better... but what weird is I go from un-hungry to hungry in a heart beat and it's a true hunger PAIN... my stomach is growling and aching and telling me FEED ME! I'm still on mushies and nothing is satisfying me. I've been eating things like lower fat corned beef hash, pureed chicken salad made with ff mayo, pureed turkey w/ mashed potatoes... real Proteins... and it's not working to make me feel satisfied.

AUGH!!! I hope this part passes soon... it's not fun! I was eating 1200 cals before surgery and was fine and not hungry like I am right now... I want to get back to that again.

Hi Heather, it sounds like you are eating correctly. Just make sure you get a ton of Protein to keep you fullest the longest. Your hunger will go away once you start to get fills. Good luck.
