What does you dr say? In my opinion.. No Cheerios. Your staple line and stomach is healing and anything but liquid is not a good thing. If you need to chew on s/f Popsicles. Hang in there and be wise.. This will pass and you'll be well on your way

He wants me on liquids 3 weeks. :( :(

Liquids is HARD!!

How about Jello? That's considered liquid.

Does he count sugar free Jello as a liquid? If so that might give you the sensation of something of substance...

You just have to do what you have to do..

That means following your doctors orders.

I know it's hard but you need to look at this part as NOT A DIET, it is making sure you stomach heals from major surgery. Just think about the fact that they went in there a couple of days ago and cut and burned off most of your stomach then stapled it back together threw a couple of stitches in and now are waiting for it to heal back together and over the staples...

definitely stay away from the cheerios!! i know it's hard on liquids. are you getting any Protein in? the Protein will help keep hunger away. try a Protein shake if you haven't already. i honestly don't know if you are experiencing TRUE hunger or not, sometimes when you feel hungry, you are actually thirsty. also, there is a TON of "head" hunger going on at this stage. I still experience that too.

Cheerios at this stage could probably really hurt you :( don't want you having to deal with that!! it'd be much worse than hunger!

Just goes to show how each Dr. is different. Mine just cleared me for full liquids (purees) today. I'm 1 week post op. I can totally relate to your misery as the clear liquid phases (pre and post op) were really, really hard for me and I was actually allowed to do Protein Shakes. Hang in there.... :wacko:

Okay :( My husband froze some of my Protein Shakes in ice cube trays, then blended them...it wasn't the best but it felt like something other than liquids, try it with other liquids too!

First, you aren't really starving...most likely you have something called head hunger. This is tough and you really need to stick to the Drs. plan as it will allow you to heal. Second, are you taking a PPI? Gas build up and acid in the stomach area can feel like hunger but it really isn't. Lastly Cheerios are really bad food, so please avoid them if you can. Be patient and keep busy, try walking since you are only a couple of days PO. You will get past this, but it takes a bit of effort on your part. Hang in there.

      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...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
