Today has been very difficult for me. I just really want some real food. I get full from broth, but I just really want something solid. I hope this gets easier.

It will get easier. You want to chew something. I crushed a bunch of ice and ate that. It seemed to satisfy the need to chew. It only lasts for a few days.

It does.. How far out are you? I know the liquid diet after surgery is in my book the hardest!

The pre op liquid diet was easier to me.

I think because I wanted the "comfort" from food.

We put ourselves in this major painful and stressful situation and our comfort was ripped away too!

Just know that this stage is hard but it's for a very good reason. It's not a "diet" to lose weight it is so the staple line on your stomach can heal problem free.

Hang in there

I was sleeved June 3. Thanks for the encouragement! I know it's more mental than actual hunger. I can have broth and will be full. I think I just miss solid foods. Lol. Down 19 pounds since Monday

I was sleeved 5/14 and I'm back on puree b/c my tummy didn't like softs when I tried them this past week. I went to my son's baseball tourney all day yesterday(my first all day outing since surgery) and I was sitting around all the parents eating snack shack foods..soft pretzels, bbq, burgers & hot dogs, nachos...it was tough, but I stayed focused on my son and the game and I made it through.

bdo, it will get better when you can move up to soft or pureed foods...I had a difficult time with the post-op liquid diet...I was getting so sick of broth

I was also sleeved 6/3 and I am SO tired of liquids. This too shall pass...right? :/

I was sleeved on 6/3. I can't say that I'm craving any foods. I haven't had anything but Water and Isopure. Even though the isopure has 40g of Protein per bottle, it takes me 3 days to finish one. I've lost 12lbs post-op. Haven't had much pain but definitely low on energy.

Same here I was sleeved 5/30. Still on liquids but now can have shakes and milk...so I make a cookies and cream shake (syntrax) with almond milk and crushed ice...put in magic bullitt...yummy...but I still want some food. I know I can not have it. It's been 10 days out....pretty hard.
