Starving! I swear Thurs can't get here quick enough



Recommended Posts

I am so hungry right now I think I could eat this computer! My stomach is growling! I've had plenty today: Breakfast I had a Fiber One Bar, lunch, Cracker Barrel childrens plate of 3 grilled chicken tenders and dressing (don't judge, its what I wanted), lol, and dinner was a small piece of Honey Baked ham and 1/4 cup of green Beans and dessert was a greek yogurt, sheesh, that's enough! I had 2cc's taken out almost 3 wks ago for gallbladder surgery 2 wks ago and I am to get a fill this Thurs, oh boy it cannot come soon enough! I need some restriction...

The only thing I would say is to cut out the fiber bar and eat more meals a day. Fiber bars made me gassy and didn't go down very well. I ended up having a light breakfast, eggs or something, a fruit, juice, a yogurt, and whatever else sounded good and healthy throughout the day. What SAVED me was eating my dinner for lunch. I would starve until dinner, so I switched it up. Already down 45 lbs in 6 months with NO WORKING OUT! I still eat pizza too!

FYI, the fiber bars make your stomach growl from the gas! Lol

Make sure you are close to 64 oz of Water each day. Drink some Protein Shakes as well. Protein fills you and keeps you filled longer even without the 2cc restriction. dinner salad with oil/vinegar will help keep you full.

how much Protein am I supposed to be eating? I ordered off of the kids menu at Cracker Barrel and ate 3 chicken tenders (grilled) that's all I could eat, yes I had a side but I had all I wanted in one meal. And for dinner I had a small slice of ham with green Beans, I thought I was getting adequate Protein, am I not?

I would recommend weighing all Protein. Hard for me to tell what you consider a small piece of ham. My doctor says 3 oz by weight.

I've just been going by the rule of thumb of not over a cup of food, that is what my dr said, he didn't really put an ounce on what I should eat. I go Thurs so I will ask him.

I was told to have a minimum of 60gr a day and to eat the Protein first and if there's room left then veggies, good carb

Quick question . . . How do you get in 40 grams of Protein before leaving the house in the morning? This would help me out so much!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
