    Well firstly you are not starving. The hunger you have is probably head hunger. Slow down and enjoy your full liquids: shakes, yogurt, pudding, jello, cream soups. You will be moving on sooner than yo

  • I had really bad head hunger the first two weeks as well. I was begging anyone I knew to bring me something to chew up swearing that I would spit it out instead of eating it. It's kind of funny now bu

Same here girl! 3 weeks on 1 more week on full liquids to go! :/

I was sleeved on 10/09/12 and I have been eating tuna and it has been very satisfying. I eat raw spinach and haven't had any problem I just over chew it and eat maybe 3 leaves and I'm ok. The protein has really help stop the hunger for me.

I have Chicken & Gnocchi from Olive Garden and it's just delish! Potato soup, oatmeal, chicken noodle soup by Campbells in the blender.

Did your surgeon say it was ok to eat that? If so I need a new one because mine wants his patients on a carb strict diet.

I'm not suppose to eat many carbs either

No. It's on most Dr.s do not eat list.

Potato soup is on mines...and I'm not having any problems. I can have low carbs from my shakes to my soups. Tomorrow is one week for me and I have lost 12 Ibs. I walk 30 mins and I feel great.

I'm allowed mashed potatoes , cream of wheat , and malt on meal on liquid purée stage

I'm also allowed instant mashed potatoes, cream of wheat and oatmeal on my full liquids and I'm only one week out and it's going pretty good, i just wanted to add some eggs.

Please watch the MSG in the soups you eat. I didn't realize how sensitive I was to it but it will make you hungry. It is in almost every soup, salad dressing, chips. Etc. really made me mad when I started reading about other names for it and checking labels. I had some beef Jerky the other day and soon after I felt hungry. I checked the label and sure enough, it had MSG. Please read up on it because it causes our bodies to want to continue to eat. When I started reading labels and cutting it out of foods I was eating, I not only was not hungry, I started seeing the scales move again.

I really didn't move to low carb until after the six weeks and release to solids as it seems the consistency of food is the focus in the early weeks, as well as Protein, so having creamy soups made with milk serves two purposes, and the same with thinned out hot cereals, and refried Beans. Now I rarely eat beans while I am still working to get to goal because of the excessive carbs.

Back to the original poster...I did thicken up my hot Cereal a bit to deal with hunger during this stage and it helped me before I moved to the pureed and then soft stages of eating. I did not have any trouble moving forward with my foods, I really enjoyed mashed potatoes with canned chicken and chicken gravy in the early days and Wendy's chili with melted cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese with canned (soft) fruit. Just go slowly, and eat more frequently if you have to. You are still consuming way less calories and you will still lose weight, we need food to heal and don't try and starve, you will lose all your energy.

Good luck!!

I had 80g of protein and under 25 carbs yesterday. I was NOT hungry at all. That is a lot more protein than I usually consume, but I felt like my body needed something and instead of eating my way through it I looked at my diet to see what types of healthier options might work.

I want to eat some eggs too !
