Is it normal for me to feel hungry 5 days after surgery on the clear diet? I am so hungry!!!

I only had to do a 2 week liquid pre-op to shrink my liver in prep for RnY. I drank Protein shakes, broth, tea, Water, SF Jello and SF Popsicles. The first 3 days weren't too bad. On Day 4 I was ready to gnaw my arm off and beat everyone around me with it! When I made it to Week 2, it was much better. Was told by my NP that most lose 9-15 lbs during this time, and I lost 9 lbs. Now down 30 lbs more since surgery date 6/20. Oh! Be sure to add fiber to your Protein Shakes. ( I like Benefiber clear--no color, no taste. Or fiber gummies.) Otherwise, all that Protein will really make you constipated! I ended up drinking all of my magnesium citrate meant for the day before surgery, in the middle of Week 2. It was THAT bad. Had trouble again the first 2 months after surgery and had to use stool softeners in addition to fiber. Never had this problem in my life! However, since I graduated to Stage 4 of the eating plan, eating fresh or steamed veggies every day does the trick. Yay!

Hahaha this made me laugh - and cry! Because I am currently moving into week 2 of my pre-op liquid diet and everything has been "moving" along normally, then last night - LORD HAVE MERCY - Constipation hit me like a brick (yep!).

I had my pre-op appointment yesterday and they gave me some sample laxatives so I dug them out and downed one! Afterwards I read the back and it states: "produces a bowel movement within 12-72 hours" !! What sort of timeframe is that!?

If I could turn back time I would be adding the fiber to my shakes at the beginning of last week!!

I've just never had this problem!! TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED DURING THIS PROCESS!!

Moving forward its added fiber all the way until I can actually eat real food again. I encourage everyone to strongly consider doing the same, because it's not fun - really not fun!

I started mine on 9/12 and it was sprung on me. So I haven't had time to research options for broth based Soups. I completely understand not being mentally prepaired. I was told on the Thursday before.

Thank you. That helps a lot. This pre-op diet is a little tough.

Does anyone have any good broth based Soup recipes for preop sleeve. I am 3 days in and already sick of chicken broth!
