Hi,

I know this may be insensitive talking about food because I know many of us are still only a few days post op, but I can't help it :thumbup:...

I am 10 days post-op and I swear I can think of nothing else but this great falafel sandwich, or grilled cheese sanswich, or turkey sub that I would love to be eating right now..

Does this get better once I go into the soft food stage (only taking liquids).. Will this go away once I start to eat again?

I find it hard to concentrate sometimes because I'm thinking about what I would like to eat... Maybe cuz I'm HUNGAAARY, and I'm sick of drinking? :thumbup:

Advice?

What you are talking about is psychological hunger. It does go away as you start to eat mushy food and regular food.

Try more variety to your liquid intake. Try smoothies. Jamba juice is great and even Starbucks has a great banana chocolate vivano drink that is only 260 calories and is a Protein drink! I love those. I don't feel deprived when others are getting the good stuff, I just get creative. I get Soup from Subway, and once I was okay to eat mushies, rice and Beans from Taco Bell.

When you get to mushies, try eggs, refried Beans and mashed up rice. Baby food is also great to add for more nutrients.

I'm 2 weeks post op right now and i just got to start some mushy food and boooyyy, was it awesome! For some reason I was craving Grits, so that was the first thing I ate. I pureed some black Beans tonight and I was in heaven! Don't get me wrong, I still crave my Chili's and Chinese Food, but the pounds are coming off and that's my motivation. Good luck... it gets better:thumbup:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
