I am 10 days out from surgery...and I am a little hungry...started yogurt, and mashed potatoes today, but omg...do I want real food! I find my self thinking of food I am craving and picturing myself eating it. I even caught myself thinking.."what could be the worst thing that could happen?" Then I quickly yell at myself and try and snap out of it.

I am thinking, damn, why didn't I eat more of this or that...its bad. I am sure it is the mourning of food etc. I know, it will all be worth it. But I really find myself saying...will being thinner be better than the foods I want? Right now, not convinced. I have been fat my whole life, and happy...I did this for health. But now I wonder....what the hell have I done?

Hiya

I am six days post surgery and dreaming of food too.

I am trying to turn it into positive and planning tiny delicious meals.

I just had half a baby pot of natural yogurt with cinnamon. Meal options today (all mush) might be some white fish with a cream, dill and lemon sauce plus a few bright green peas. Or maybe refried Beans with a little melted cheese, salsa and sour cream. Yum yum. Looking forward to meal times later today. Can't believe how little goes down!

I have loved reading the recipes of the world according to eggface blog. She adores food and seems to cook all the time and has lost so much weight it's inspirational.

Good luck with your journey to health!

I am only allowed a teaspoon at a time. It's not enough, but that is all I am doing. Very limited choices.

Weird eh.

I can do yoghurt, chicken, fish - just so long as it's all puréed up.

Good luck again.

I am 16 days post-op. I had my follow-up yesterday and was cleared to add puréed foods like refried Beans, cottage cheese, yogurt, and puréed meats. My surgeon was a bit surprised when I mentioned my constant hunger. I was hoping I would finally find that "satisfaction" point when I added the puréed foods, but that's still not the case. Rather discouraged, especially since my surgeon mentioned he rarely had patients who were still hungry after surgery. I'm broken.

Are you taking any PPI's? They are like nexium to help reduce the acids which mimics hunger feeling. I'd inquire about it. I'm on for six months.

I'm 10 days out, constantly hungry and am on a PPI. I know how frustrating it is. I see my surgeon on Monday and will be advanced to pureed stage. Hopefully that helps.

I'm taking 1 Prilosec otc first thing in the morning. I was curious if acid production was a possible culprit, but I am also worried my hunger/satiety hormones are out of whack. I'll try nexium, maybe I'll notice a difference. Thanks!

Honestly, I watched videos of people eating fast food on Shutterstock when I was on liquids. I didn't necessarily want that food, just wanted the sensation of chewing actual food.

I am 6 days out and am starving!... I am on 2oz of full liquid diet for another week! I already take a PPI but it's not helping, also, sipping Water goes down without hesitating.... so frustrating!!! My wife had the sleeve 1.5 yr ago and didn't experience any of this.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
