5 days post op and STARVING! Help!

So it's dinner time in my house and I am SO hungry I want to cry!! My husband and girls had turkey burgers earlier and I SWEAR I wanted to ****** one and run down the street with it in my mouth!! I keep looking at my 'day 3-9' food sheet praying it changes to mashed potatoes and gravy!! I've been drinking these dang Protein Shakes, jell-o, strained Soup (gag), broth and green tea until I'm ready to scream!

Please give me some other 'food ideas'! Anything! I know it's mind over matter but I am really struggling!!

I would run out of the house right now and buy some prilosec. You aren't hungry. It's acid reflux. There ought to be a law against Drs discharging people without a PPI.

I take two a day and I've been hungry since day two post op. . Not everyone is not hungry!

How about non-fat greek yogurt? I was able to have that as part of my full liquid diet.

It's the wrong one, then. Get a different one. YOU ARE NOT TRULY HUNGRY! It's not freaking possible!

I don't know, maybe it's head hunger, but there's nothing you can do about that. YOUR STOMACH DOES NOT WANT food.

I have to respectfully disagree... Some may "feel"

No hungry but it is a false statement to say that everyone feels no hungry that it just acid or head hunger. Some people will be hungry to a certain extent it IS possible. and your body does need nourishment

I can be satisfied with a little deli meat or string cheese... It doesn't take much. I usually wake hungry and have a small fuzzy navel drink and a boiled egg.... I am good for hours!

Hey, I am on day four of my liquid diet, now days 5-7 I'm suppose to be on full liquid diet, at least you are eating creamed soup, being in the hospital I'm only getting for Breakfast, lunch, dinner chicken broth, Jello, sorbet, crystal light, milk. I've give anything for fine creamed soup. But before I had my surgery I hate the Protein Drinks (All of them), so my nutritionist told me to eat once a day at night a small piece if chicken breast (baked, boiled, rotisserie) & veggies (no peas, corn). During the day I drank 1 cup of whole milk & my unlimited things on my list. That's how I got by. I hope this helps. So now I don't eat until to I go to full liquids.
