I had my surgery on the 11 of January and my Surgeon has me on Clear liquids for two weeks. My husband didn't want to eat around me, but I keep telling him I'm not hungry. it's all I can do to drink the liquid. Seriously takes me all day to get 64 oz down.

So under 300 calories for two weeks? Can that even sustain a body?

I'm reading weird stories about people eating popcorn (BOY DID SHE HEAR ABOUT THAT!) and on mushies 2 weeks out.

But seriously, I'm not sure I can recognize hunger anymore. Does this change?

Also, I'm back down to my pre-op weight. I guess I got the extra Water out. How soon before people started losing? Yeah, I know -- Focus on healing blah, blah, but still ...

You are soooo lucky. Everything still tastes awesome to me. :biggrin2:

Everything smell and tastes wonderful to me too, but I don't really feel like eating it. Weird huh?

I am 6 weeks out and I can eat an egg with a bit of shredded cheese for Breakfast at about 7:00 am and around 10:00 I start on my Protein shake about 16-20 oz made with powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury and a banana and soy milk. Then at 12:00 ish I have 1/4 cup of refried Beans and shredded cheese and I’ll put tsp of salsa ( not chunky at all more like a hot sauce) in it for flavor also or tuna salad with light mayo about 3oz or 1/4 turkey chili is another good luch or egg salad. And I usually have the same thing for dinner. I love to cook and I love the smell of food but I have very little desire to eat. Most of the time I’ll smell something good and I’ll think wow that smells good and then it’s gone out of my head, whereas before the desire to eat after smelling something tasty would be overwhelming. Sometimes I get head hunger when I'm cooking and I'll have a taste of something but I don’t' want more. It is strange, this new stomach. I'm concerned that I'm eating more then I should, now that I hear more people can only eat 3/4 of an egg. My nutritionist says that I’m doing well but it’s hard to say. I’m really focusing on eating to get rid of hunger or the empty feeling and nothing more. Eating slowly is so difficult. :drool5:

I just am thankful that I’m able to get control of my eating now that I am post op.
