Starving at 6 days out....

I was sleeved last week Tuesday (7/16), so I'm 6 days out & I'm **STARVING!** What's up with that??

I must be doing something wrong. Here I'll list what I've had today, maybe someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong:

Breakfast ~ (oops, this one is hard to list since I ate the reminder 1/8 of a container I had of Kroger's Private Selection Amber Honey Greek Yogurt) If I had eaten the entire yogurt, it would have been 11 grms of Protein but I hate it in increments yesterday.

Drank Water, drank water, drank water

lunch ~ Premier Protein shake, vanilla flavor, 30 grams of protein, mixed with 6 oz of decaf coffee

Drank water, drank water, drank water

dinner ~ Yoplait 100 calorie Greek Lime flavored yogurt with 10 grams of protein

Snack ~ nectar Cappuccino Latte 24 grms protein, 100 Cal

If I can count all the liquids from the Protein drinks, then I've had 72 oz liquids & maybe 66 grms of protein? I'm just adding at the top of my head. Sorry if I'm off.

Shouldn't ALL THAT keep me full? I swear, right now I feel I could eat a sandwich! LOL! (J/K), but hungry enough to eat something!

Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Spell it out because I'm sorta dense...just sayin'.

Thanks fellow senior sleevers!

  • Have you tried warm soup? Cold stuff does nothing for me. Warm cream soups and broth make me feel very full and satisfied.

I was sleeves the same day also and today was the first day I met my Protein goal. Definitely take your ppi. I missed a dose yesterday and felt hungry and when I took missed dose went away. Also today I ate a cream based Soup (panera baked potato soup strained of course) and felt very full after. Ate about 2 oz and felt like a new woman!

Now I have a craving for Panera's baked potato soup! LOL! Maybe I'll have my hubby pick one up for me tonight or tomorrow!

BTW, I just ****LOVE**** your user name here! Very clever!!! Mrs.SleevieNicks! LOL!!! Two thumbs up for that one!

I think I know what you feel. Before surgery when i was on the pre-op diet i got so hungry 1 hr after i woke i was in pain. Actually in pain! I couldn't figure it out. I was not used to eating in the am. On the pre-op diet i started the day with a Protein shake. Like clockwork within an hour every day i had extreme hunger pains. On several of those days i gave in and ate something to make it stop, usually an Atkins meal. It did stop. The next day, lather-rinse- repeat. On day 5 i decided to treat it like reflux. For me the best cure has always been a cup of milk. I tried it and voila. Problem solved. Since surgery it has not happened. I think the reason is that my surgeon started me on a different RX. I haven't had a trace of acid or reflux since surgery and have not felt hunger. I guess what I'm suggesting is that if someone finds themselves in post-op starvation feeling try drinking 1/2 cup ff milk. Its worth a try and won't cause a problem with your post-op diet unless you're lactose intolerant.
