Ok so I feel like I've cheated and regret it terribly. I want to know your thoughts and if anyone has felt the same and maybe give me tips to not doing this again.

So my short story is that today I felt so hungry I felt I could eat a whole cow. It doesn't help that I cook bfast and dinner for my 5 children 6 including the hub haha and I sit not knowING what to eat. So today for bfast I made eggs, sausage, toast and refried Beans. I did not cheat. Seriously I had nothing. Then I took the kids to daycare minus my teen and we went off to walmart to purchase a dewarmer for my pup. She said mom can u take me to sonic to get a free slush with my app, I said sure why not. Well I ended up getting a free one too I drank it all a lemon slush ???? I'm not proud of it but I have to be completely honest. Ugh I'm so mad at my self. Beleive me tho I paid for it badly I had to rush home to use the RR I had a terrible case of, well I leave that to the imagination. Then we got home I made dinner and I was still super super hungry so I made me Malt O Meal. A very watery one, I'm not sure if that's good or bad?? Lastly I had about 6 cheese its the small crackers I chewed them well until they were practically pureed in my mouth but still it was wrong. I'm so dissapointed in myself knowing I struggled to pay for this surgery because my insurance would not pay for it. ???? I was just so freaking hungry and couldn't find a way to suppress my appetite.

You need to get your mind in the right place to do this and be successful. You are risking significant complications from eating anything not on your plan. Your stomach is being held together with surgical staples and needs time to heal. Please don't continue to risk hurting yourself - not to mention you need to use this time to learn how to eat in order to be successful.

I recommend counseling for eating disorders / emotional eating. It's only going to get more difficult to resist temptation.

The hunger is all in your mind. You could of really hurt yourself esp eating crackers. If you feel like you're starving eat some broth,cream of chicken (minus the chicken) Soup with some Protein, or a Protein shake. Youre only 6 days out. It's gonna be hard. But you can do it.

I think this app was exactly what I needed. I was a very emotional eater. I will do better. I know I can.

You were hungry 6 days post op? I'm 10 days post op and never feel "hungry" sometimes I get hunger pangs from an empty tummy, but I have no desire to eat.. I can only eat about 2 oz of puréed soup - very, thin. I found out the hard way I can't handle anything thick yet.

Yes. I feel so so hungry. Today is my 6th day post op. I had the lap band prior and I guess I have the same restriction I don't know.

Are you taking an acid reducer? It's more likely acid or head hunger. If you're "hungry" - have something from your plan.

I do. I take Omeprazole twice a day. I don't want to do it but today it was like I had a break down.

on my plan I could have grits or malto meal on purees, not sure if you are at that stage.

I think the slushie is the worst thing you had because it just sugar Water. It is also the kind of thing you can always have easily.

When you actually start on soft foods, they will be hard to eat, but slushies and stuff will always be easy.

A lot of people that fail at surgery, chose these kinds of easy foods. One slushy while eating good the rest of the day can ruin everything.

This was one day though, and you can't fix the past, just don't do it again.

I found myself feeling "hungry" during my first two weeks post op too. Looking back I'm fairly certain that was due to two main reasons: 1) gas bubbles gurgling through my system mimicked the rumbling of an empty tummy and 2) lack of food diversity. My plan did allow cream of wheat (very thin and supplemented with protein powder), yogurt and pudding during the full liquids phase. It helped to alternate protein shakes with something like Greek yogurt that has more substance. Are you meeting your protein goals everyday? When you feel hungry you should be reaching for a ready made shake or a cup of broth or even a v-8 if you need some diversity in your diet. Please reach out to your NUT or program for help.
