I will be 1 week out tomorrow. I am on clear liquids only. I have been good about keeping hydrated, but I am so so SO hungry! What did everyone do to get calories when on clear liquids only? Apple juice has been making me sick to my stomach! HELP!

Thanks Traci J. I've been doing broth and popsicles, but still feel like I am starving.

I'm 2 weeks out tomorrow and I have been eating anything I want (in moderation). My doc orders were soft foods after week 1. I feel your pain. I had only 2 days clears and I was starving pre op. i have a post op the 15 to see how I am doing. i feel great.

I'm 6 days out and I am very well hydrated but I also feel hungry and idk if that is just head hunger as my friend who was sleeve says it is.... But everyone is different n I really can't tell.

I started all the creamy Soups, applesauce, and yogurt after 48hrs post op. And Protein shakes. Was able to tolerate very well as long as I eat very slow.

The first two weeks I ate Cream of Chicken and added milk because it felt more hearty. Broth did not do it for me. My doctor even said I could have a string cheese (if tolerated) as a snack because it has 7 grams of protein per ounce. The cheese helped me get through the hunger. Popcicles and sugar free jello did nothing for me, they felt like empty foods in my body, plus no protein so what's the point? I prefer to drink my sugar free fluids and make snacks protein based. Whatever works for one may not work for another. Best of luck to you.

So glad others are feeling this way as well. I am 6 days post op and I feel like I am just going to LOSE IT if I see one more food related commercial on tv. There's got to be a trick to this.. Lol

Have you tried the clear Ispoure protein drinks? I need protein to survive the clear liquids phase.

I couldn't stand Isopure. I was thankful I kept my receipt from GNC so I could a refund. Syntex nectar makes a good lemonade...I know it's so hard.

I totally feel ya! It is so frustrating because I felt really ready for this. Between the food commercials and my family constantly talking about food or what they are craving I am gonna go nuts!

Ugh..I'm 6 days post op. The commercials and my family are killing me. They've had pizza and tacos in the last two days and I've stayed in the bedroom like I'm being punished! Lol

Guess I was lucky, I was never hungry in the beginning and had to eat on a schedule . I still don't feel hunger but get a nauseous feeling and then know I need to eat!!

My husband puts a guilt trip on me if I don't sit with them while they eat. And his idea of helping out with cooking through this has been getting pizza and things of that nature. I should have moved out for this time frame! LOL
