Hungry??? I can even look at food I'm that full

I'm 8 days post-op and I am also hungry. I've been reassured that for some people it takes a few weeks, up to 4 or 5, to feel full. But everyone promises that it will happen. And I am holding them to it!

Hang in there!

Lol

Wow your doctor advanced you fast. I wish I could have chilli I'm 4 days post up and I'm on full liquids until the 27th. Then I go for my 2 week check up and move to puréed. I am also hungry now. I chalk it up to the liquids not having any real body to them to fill me. I did have a thicker soup for dinner tonightA butternut squash with a dollop of FF Greek yogurt. Yummy and filled me a lot more then the broth and jello has been! I hope when I get to puréed I'm not hungry still. Like others though I've heard it takes a little while for us to get to a feeling of full.

Right right she was advanced fast because I couldnt eat for along time

I have to be on full liquids for two full weeks post op, then puree then mushies. I dont think I will be eating solids for at least a month.

See my doctor did liquid for one week then pureed for.one.week then I.slowin introduce myself to solids like mash...

I am hungry too Clear liquids for 2 weeks, puree for 2 weeks, and then soft food til month four! I was sleeved n DEC. 11th and am finally getting used to clear liquids. Good news is I have lost 10 lbs in 5 days !

I am 5 days post op, I had my first "hunger" pain in the middle of the night last night. I grabbed a Sugar Free 10 calorie Jello cup and could only eat half of it and I was more than satisfied. I am on liquids till I think Friday and then can switch over to "soft" (consistenancy of yogurt). But if they tell me liquids for another week, I won't fight it, I am not prepared to move up yet....mentally!
