So, I've just had my third meal on purées and I feel like I had nothing and I'm hungry and I'm getting really depressed. I've been truly hungry the last three days and in so over it!

This is my third day on the pureed stage and I can say that I am not hungry, just know that it is time to eat. Are you drinking enough liquids? Are you timing meals appropriately, because that has been a problem with me after returning back to work. Are you eating enough? Try the part-skim mazzorella string cheese as your snack. Hang in there, this stage will be over soon.

Yeah feeling hungry on full liquids can't seem to get enough in to feel full. I think its head hunger.

In my experience the most common reasons for feeling hunger are actually either; not drinking enough or acid reflux. The reflux confused the heck out of me for a while because it didn't feel like what it used to. I finally realized that if I take my antacid and drank water instead of eating something 9 times outa 10 it would go away.

Just a thought...Are you getting enough Protein? In the pureed food stage I pureed anything high protein and that would help the hunger go away. Plus i stayed fuller longer. Canned white chicken with a little cream of chicken, Meatballs with a little spaghetti sauce (no pasta), be creative to shake off the bordom. pureed boiled eggs with mustard tastes alot like deviled eggs... Just a thought and trying to be helpful. The small amount you are eating will not hurt your weight loss. Wishing you the best!!

Im doing all of these things that's why I'm getting depressed like my sleeve isn't working

I will be a month out on Monday. I have not been cleared to have anything but full liquids. I am out of ideas of things that I can eat- I am truly hungry and sad that I am not one of the lucky ones who doesn't feel hunger anymore. I can not wait until I can have some chicken. I was previously a big time sweet lover- forget that! Give me some meat!

Wow, that's a long time to have to wait for puréed and solids. Why are they making you wait that long?

Yes why so long? When I was on liquid stage my dr said I could start with pureed..I'm 3 weeks out and eating soft foods...

Maybe because of a hiatal hernia repair?. You have to stay longer on liquids if you had that. I was always hungry too during that stage I was contemplating appetite suppressants it was so bad. I think it was the acid. I told my doc and I got a script for omeprazole and that helped a lot. I'm just going on 6 weeks now and the hunger has gone away and the stall has also gone. So hang in there.

I'm on antacids. The few bites of tuna or whatever just seem to go down so easy I was expecting more suppression maybe it's a good thing I dont know
