So I'm 6 days post op and I'm hungry all day... I'm still on a liquid diet....my protein shakes are doing nothing...soup only makes me hungrier...not to mention I'm still cooking for my husband and kids so I'm smelling & watching them enjoy food...and I'm miserable....

What all can u have right now? Just protein shakes?

I'm fortunate it enough to not feel real hunger still. And when I do it only takes a very small portion to satisfy it. It's actually not good cause I know I need to eat more. The protein just killed me though! I started creamy soups and mushiness today and so far I'm feeling better and still not hungry. I have fixing supper for my hubby too it's rough. I just want to taste everything. Thankfully I'm too scared. Lol hang in there. Hopefully it's not too much longer til u can have some consistency in your meals so they will stay with u longer!

Stay the course. You need to create Want Power to see you through!

I want it and I want it bad...its just harder than ever...especially cause I'm home with my 1 year old all day so I'm used to eating what he eats...and the feeling of being hungry sucks...I get cranky.. and i swear these protein shakes are doing nothing for me...and they have 50g of protein per serving...

This is the hardest time. It will get better.... Hang in there and do not succumb to the cravings. You can do it !

Don't give in. Try to drink water in between. My hubby also had the hunger pains and he caved one day. Causes him a lot of pain for the day. Needless to say he went back to what he was doing cause it wasn't worth it. Take a walk watch tv read a book. Do anything to distract you!

I gave in the other day and it is totally not worth it.i feel so guilty. Just fight it through and occupy yourself with something else or drink a lot of water.
