Help Im Hungry



Recommended Posts

I am new to the band. Had surgery 5/23. For 2 weeks I was on clear liquid diet. 2 days ago I was asked by my doctor to start another 2 weeks liquid. I was told to eat farina, cream of wheat, plain non fat yogurt, sugar free pudding and Popsicles. I feel hungry, very hungry. Is there nothing else I can eat? Please advice?

PS

, I also drink 54 grams of Protein with skim milk plus each day.

If that's all you're eating, no wonder as it doesn't look like you're getting any protein! Can you add in some Protein Drinks? It might help. Why do you have to do more liquids? By this point most people are at least into the mushy stage....hope all is well!

I was on liquids two weeks after surgery, then to mushies or soft foods.

Scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, oatmeal, Soups, broth, sugar free Jello, refried Beans, fish, cheese sticks and applesauce besides they things you mentioned. There are probably more but that is all I can think of now.

Are you drinking Protein Shakes? Proteins helps you feel full longer.

I still have a Protein Shake every morning on my drive to work.

Good luck to you.

I think everybody's wanting to know why you had to go back and liquids that's very concerning... please advise thanks and we wish you well! I had surgery on 529 and I was pretty near perfect for the first 7 to 10 days but then I would crush on a little something and just to it and show it was Water and then swallow it... I couldn't really see how it was any different than a creamy chicken Soup or cottage cheese or cream of wheat.... luckily I had no vomiting no pain no nothing and I'm getting enough Protein and I'm say she did but I have to admit and I'll sit here... I have not been perfect perfect. I have lost 12 pounds since 529. My only concern would be that my tummy swell and the band director something but everything feels just right. I hope I'm okay and don't want to do you have the band adjusted.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
