1 week out tomorrow and SO hungry!



Recommended Posts

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!

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.

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.

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

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

My husband hasn't made me sit at the table. Mine has made it known that him and the kids stopped and had burger king and chinese etc. I tell him..when I'm down 100lbs you will see! Actually I'm getting better with cravings..but for some reason I want some Cheez its. Go figure

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
