T-ray. I totally understand. I'm on day 7 post op and I want food so badly. But I keep telling myself that if I am being true to my liquid intake then anything else is my mind trying to ruin my progress. Stay strong!! You will be proud of your self control!! We will get through this hideous liquid phase!!

I've been drinking water protein shakes eating soup but I still find myself hungry

That's normal. You're on limited calories and liquids aren't filling at all. I was on liquids the first 4 weeks after surgery and was starving pretty much the whole time. It sucked but I survived it.

Just remember this is a temporary phase necessary for healing.

You get to have soup?? You're so lucky!! I'm jealous!!

i know the feeling... im tired of protein shakes (what brand do you use)

GNC total lean is really good! I've tried chocolate,vanilla, and pumpkin spice. Curious to try strawberry.

Thank goodness I came on here. I'm day 5 post op and I'm so hungry. I thought it was just me. We will get through this :)

I am on day 4 too. I am also hungry. I am supposed to be on clear liquids (including chicken broth) for like...forever! You guys can have protein shakes? I'm so jealous. What's everyone eating?

I am on day 8 and not sure if I overdid it yesterday. Walked 2.5 miles and today stomach sore and exhausted!

I was barely doing 2 blocks on day 4 haha. Maybe take a rest day? Nothing wrong with it!

Be sure and get all your vitamins and supplements in. I was starving if I missed a dosage but always felt satisfied if I was nourishing my body. V8 Fusion is great along with any supplement you can mix in your shake. I'm almost four weeks post op and still find more satisfaction in shakes and liquids than I do any solid. Just a thought but maybe it will help. It gets better... Good Luck
