Man I feel like I'm so hungry and the liquid isn't doing it for me anymore! Did anyone else feel this way less than a week after surgery? Im so tempted to eat something puréed but I'm scared lol I don't think 1 egg will hurt

Yes, it will.

You're on a slippery slope, don't do it. You didn't go through all this just so you could not follow doctors instructions the first week and mess things up.

I was sleeved on the 7th and feel like I feel hungry. It mainly happens when I have to fix food for my family or see a commercial. I have started just watching recorded shows so I can fast forward through the food. I even record shows I am watching live and let them get 10 mins ahead...it is a small power trip to speed by the food!

What liquids are you using? I was just doing water and protein shakes but felt much better when I added juice...hang in there and I will try too!

When do you move to your next phase?

I've been drinking Protein Shakes, water, broth, sugar free Popsicles and crystal light! I'm on day 5 and I don't have to sip one ounce anymore. I can drink it in 1 shot. Maybe it's just in my mind but I feel like the liquid isn't doing it for me anymore. I can't wait until next week so I can eat some pureed foods

I'm day 4 post op and haven't been hungry at all. I would definitely not take any chances eating prematurely. The last thing you want is a leak that could have been prevented. I am on clear fluids for this first week (Water, crystal light, sf popsicles, sf Jello, Powerade zero, and broth)

It does suck when I'm cooking yummy (even healthy) food for the family and sitting at the table while they eat, but I know I'll be able to join in soon. Stay strong and remember why you had this surgery. You will be able to eat eggs soon. Just be patient. Good luck!

I woke up in the middle of the night and kind of forgot and started to drink more than a sip and it didn't feel like it would be a problem. Our new stomachs don't change how much liquid we can drink...maybe not as fast. Maybe, other than healing, we are told to sip over 20 mins so the liquid can help with hunger? I am wishing your next food phase gets here fast! Mine too! But keep the slow sipping even if you can take it faster...maybe that will help?

I felt the same way! do you have a 1 week check up scheduled? at my 1 week follow up I discussed this with the NP and I was given permission to try certain soft foods a little earlier than 2 weeks. it was important to me to make sure I was healed enough and to discuss it with them first as I did not want any complications.

Try making your Protein shakes with 1% milk. Much thicker and seem to give me that sense of fullness. The extra calories don't hurt either.

I'm right behind you in day four and feel like I'm on a mission.....make it to two weeks come hell or high water!
