Hey everyone- i had my RNY on Monday 5/16 and just got home today. Finally started phase 1 diet yesterday afternoon and had my first home cooked Beef broth and Jello-O shot for dinner. But I am freaking hungry! How have others handled this issue? I can't wait until I can get 1/2 a scrambled egg and some refried beans!!

Are you sure it's your actual physical hunger or your head hunger ?

I had horrible horrible appetite before surgery, had mine on 5/13 and have not been hungry yet, seems I spend all day sipping on liquids to get my requirements in that I don't even have enough room to eat more than 1/4 of food per sitting. How many times a day do you eat?

I mean don't get me wrong, when my husband made himself burgers for lunch, they smelled amazing but I knew it's not on my plan so I just kept reminding myself what I am doing and why, helps with the head hunger.

I too had my RNY on Monday! I got home yesterday, and the tacos my family had smelled ok, but I had no desire whatsoever for them. Of course, I still have a lot of pain on my left side, and am still taking my pain meds. I'm doing good to get my 4 ounces of Protein Shake 3 xs a day and Water requirements down.

I'm 2 weeks out and feeling hungry often as well. I'll eat, then about 2 hours later I'm starving. Disappointed that I'm already hungry

Day three, just started the full liquid diet. Sitting here sipping my Protein Shake and it is going down way too easily--could easily finish the 8oz in half an hour if I weren't making myself take my time. Not really feeling hungry though. My mother made pizza for her and my critter last night and while it smelled good I had no desire to eat any. Every person is different I guess.

Have you seen The Revenant? Well the scene where Leo crawls out of the woods and gets some of that raw meat is what I felt like after finally getting to eat some cream of wheat this morning!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
