Yes I think anything I am allowed to have appeals to me that's how hungry I am.. Lol can have all clear fluids no lumps. All sugar free.

Popsicle brand tropical ice pops have great flavor and fall apart I my mouth not like most sugar free ice pops that are hard as a rock.

G2 powder mix- I mix with pedialite it helps me feel a little less dizzy.

Anything hot! I love hot! broth both chicken and beef and tea! Love tea mostly mint tea.

Jello sf it makes me feel like I actually ate sometime I can only have about 1/3 of the tiny container.

Was this what you were looking for?

I wondered if you were on a really restricted liquid diet and that was why you were starving. The doctor will probably love how many liquids you are getting in. I tend to believe the other posters who say acid feels like hunger. I know from my own experience that not all PPI meds work on all people. Sometimes you have to try a few before you find the right one. I seem to be fine with Prilosec but it does not work for my husband. He has to use Protonix. Maybe your PPI is not working.

Thanks I'm going try the poi prescribed I was told to only use if I needed it. I thought that meant if I have heartburn but from what I have been reading its seems like everyone say the the hunger in the beginning is acid, I hope they are right! Lol thanks for posting!

All the old tummy feelings seem to mean something else now. I guess we have to learn what the new meanings are.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
