Sooooo hungry!!!



Recommended Posts

24 hrs after surgery and I am sooo hungry I could cry! I had to make dinner for my family which included angle hair Pasta and sauce for the kids and a tuna fish sandwich for the hubby. It absolutey killed me to drink 4 oz of chicken broth for my meal. My stomach is growling all the time. I have to go through this for 2 weeks? I need some extra support with this one that is for sure! So sad....and hungry!!!! How do you get past this stage and keep the cravings at bay?

LOL! What my hubby can and cannot do is a totally different app! LOL!!!!! But seriously, I am the short order chef in my house so it up to me for the meals. I guess I am just grumpy as I detox my body during this stage. But I am still hungry. :(

I cooked for my kids too during this phase and it was frustrating. However, I just kept reminding myself that this is just a "phase" of the program and I will survive it. Just take it one sip at a time. I also took this time to make my kids things that didn't really tempt me to want to eat. I made them things that I normally don't want. They will get over it.

Good luck and keep walking through it. It will get easier.

Hello, unfortuantely, it is apart of the process. It was a very trying time going through that not eating food phase, but I promise you, you will make it through. I have to honestly say that I cheated a couple times inbetween. I ate mashed potatoes with gravy and lots of broccoli and cheese Soup. broth just wasn't getting for me and luckily my band and stomach/stoma was fine. :D Good luck.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
