Day 6 post op. I am on full liquids until Thursday or Friday. I am starting to feel so so hungry though. My brain has begun plotting "tricks" on how I could scoop put Taco Bell burritos and eat that and just have "just one bite of mac n cheese". I just have a deep hunger that isnt remotely being satisfied by liquids. I NEED to chew something! lol. The longer I go without food-food, the harder it's becoming not to just gorge and dump. And I already had dumping once from trying cream soup (which they said I could have but didnt tolerate). I am so scared I'll get to real foods and have more dumping. But I am going a bit nuts on liquids, dreaming about 7 layer dip on tablespoons, drizzled with fire sauce. lol! Texture. Required.

You can play with texture during the liquid phase. I just mentioned this in another post, but I grabbed the protein waters, froze them into ice cubes, threw them into a blender and had a slush. I also used to freeze premier protein RTD drinks and ate them kind of like ice cream.

Whenever I got too much into my head and started daydreaming about food, I'd grab something to do. I'd window browse for clothes for when I was skinny and hot. I'd plan a vacation for when I hit goal. I'd do something to focus on the positive impacts to distract myself from running down to the store and sucking the chocolate off a kit kat... LOL

I just didnt expect to feel hungry. Like, normal pre-op hunger. I didnt at first, but it's coming out full force and nothing I am consuming now is satisfying it.
