5 days post op and STARVING! Help!



Recommended Posts

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.

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

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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
