is it me or others feelin hungry 3days post op. this liquid diet is easy, but the smell and hunger pains is too much. my family continues to eat and i stare at them as they eat all that yummy food. i tell myself to stay focused, uuugh, im hungry. any suggestions for things to eat on week 1???

I don"t start my liq diet until this comming tuesday...Sorry I can't help you but I may call on you next week....You hang in there.

thanks, good luck its really tuff and u have to prepare ur mind now.

Jennabe, I'm day 4 post op and having hunger too. My hubby's been gone away on business (he comes back tonight) but he eats in the other room and has been eating things I really don't like this past weekend. Maybe you can ask them to go in another room and tell them how you are feeling. They need to support you! I have no tips on hunger right now. I've eaten some jello and popsicles and it helps for a few minutes. Saturday I can start full liquid with pudding and yogurt which I hope will help. I have no advice on what will help since I'm in the same boat with you. Good luck and stay strong! It's hard right now.

I am on day 5 of liquids. My stomach growls a lot! There is no ignoring it at work. It rumbles most of the day...a bit embarrassing. I am hungry a lot but am determined to get through the next two weeks on liquids. Yougart blended with protein powder seems to be one of the most filling thing I "eat."

I am almost 5 weeks post op and I remember starving my butt off during that phase. I had the audacity to have the surgery 3 days before Christmas. Christmas was really hard. I chewed food and spit it out ....yikes. Anyhoo... I loved diet hot chocolate by swiss miss with some Protein powder added to it. I loved carnation Breakfast shake. It takes way better than any Protein Shake out there. I also had some Soup from saladworks because campbells just wasnt getting it. I ate non fat yogurt and by week 2 I made fruit smoothie Protein shakes. Its a rough phase but you will get through it. I just had my first fill last friday and feel 0 restriction. The doctor said I could come back this Friday for a little more. I am on solids now Hang on because it will get better.

it helped me to sip on water all the time. I drank lots of broth and jello. I think the H2O helped the most.

this too shall pass, hang in there! it's worth it. you definitely want to let your stomach heal, follow the docs sugguestions.

thank you, everyone. yes, this is exstremly hard for me to make this huge adjustment, but i want the results so i must comply with the dr's orders. thank you again

I am 6 days post-op and I am really starting to miss food! Now I think I am beginning to challenge the mental part of this journey. I feel so full all the time..I mean like the kinda full you were after a Thanksgiving meal full! I haven't even gotten down 3 protein shake in 6 days! I can't get much at all down because of the full feeling! UGH!

I'm on day 9 post op and I'm JUST having the mental thought of "I'm hungry" but not really feeling hungry its very weird. I think I mentally know its just time to eat. I haven't had any stomach growling yet. I drink a 10oz Protein shake for Breakfast, 8-10oz broth at lunch, maybe Jello or yogurt mid-day or a Protein Shake. Then head home from work cook dinner for the family then make a can of cream of something Soup for me. Before bed its another jello, yogurt, popsicle or protein shake. I also stagger Water throughout the day. My goal is suppose to be 32oz clear liquid AND 32 oz full liquid..

Cooking for the family is a task..the smells of food is what starts to get to me but so far so good with the will-power!
