Day 4. Starting to get hungry. Really.

By Wheelchair

· 316 views

Gas pains are all gone. I'm still a bit weak and feel tightness in my stomach but otherwise pretty swell. Last night was much better than the nights previous... nausea has subsided a fair amount.

 

 

Problem now... after 5 days of liquids...I'm getting hungry. Yesterday was fine..but today I'm getting really hungry. I constantly think about food and it feels like this liquid diet will be the end of me.

 

My next doctor's appointment is in two days...(on Wednesday, 6.8) and I can start mushy foods at that time. Just two more days...two more nights.

 

 

Today is almost done...so that's good...but I fear how it'll be tomorrow... I'm going to be starving. Oh gosh...

    Buillon + Fat Free+ FatFree Sugarfree Jello should take care of what ails you. Furthemrmore, if you are that hungry, are you waiting before and after meals so that you do not drink anything?

    I was banded on 6/2 also but have not experienced the hunger pains yet. Are you still on clear liquids or did you progress to full liquids yet? I went to full liquids 48 hours after surgery and I found that a homemade potato soup with grated cheese melted in it then the soup pureed to a thinner liquid is keeping me full. I was told we can have almost anything as long as it could be pureed to a smooth texture and thinned out enough to drink through a straw. If you can draw a smiley face in it then it's too thick. Wendy's chili pureed is supposed to be delish, may try it out since my appt isn't for a few more days. HTH! :)

    Well, my surgeon does not progress his patients to full liquids I don't think. The discharge instructions state that I need to be a clear liquids until my next appointment....at which time I can start mushies...

    Mickp24.... I dunno what you're referring to about waiting before and after meals... my meals consist of drinks anyhow. Currently I'm surviving on apple juice 'laced' with water and that's pretty much it. I've had some chicken broth... but I feel it nauseates me a bit
