Anyone hungry????



Recommended Posts

First I want to say that I don't like the layout of this page!!! It is too hard to find anything now!!!:laugh:

Now, I was just wondering if anyone is hungry while they are on stage 2? I had my band done on Oct. 30th. When I went for my one week check up my Dr asked me if I was hungry and I told him yes, then he asked me if it was just head hunger....hello? I am sure that he is eating more than 2 medicine cups full at a time! I feel as if my stomach is sucking on my backbone! I don't get my first fill until the 11th of Dec. I don't know how much more I can take! I hate this because I have 2 children and a husband that eat food, real food, 3 times a day. It is pure torture! I can't eat mushie foods until next Tuesday! I was just wondering if anyone else out there was feeling my pain?:thumbup:

I am truly feeling your pain. What I had to do is prepare supper and serve it, then leave the area until everyone was done. I know that seems wrong not to be at the table with the family, but it was only for a short time. Then when they were finished I would come out and immediately shove everything not eaten down the garbage disposal. No temptation. This is how I got through it. I'm sure there are better solutions, I just didn't come up with it. Now, I can happily say I eat all meals with the family again with no problem. Remember, you have nothing in your band yet, you are definately going to be hungry. You have came this far, YOU CAN DO IT! Good Luck!

I'm feeling like a bottom-less pit today! I'm on mushies but feel like I've been eating off and on all day. I finally made some tuna salad and have been chewing really well (it's on my approved list)... I'm hoping the meat will help satisfy me. I'm trying to decide if it's real hunger or boredom/head hunger?

      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.
