    Unhappy 10 Days post op Hunger

    I am 10 days post op and on cream soups. I find myself hungry 2 hours after i eat everytime. I don't feel like the soups are working for me. I am trying to stick to the full liquids but its so hard. I ate two chicken meatballs today and now i feel guilty..Like maybe im stretching my stomach by not sticking to the post op instructions. Please help me.. i dont know how to remain full...

    You should add some plain protein powder to your soup or some liquid protein to your water. Mostl likely it is head hunger and not real hunger, it would probably help if you take a PPI to keep the acid and bubbling down. I thought I was hungry too, but it was mostly dehydration, head hunger and bubbling acid. Once I added extra protein to my water, soups and pudding, and also started taking Prilosec, I immiediately felt much fuller and it lasted much longer.

    Good luck..and you didn't stretch your sleeve. But you should stick to the program as best you can because your stomach is still healing.

    Good Luck...and best wishes. I'm 4 weeks post-op on Monday, so I don't know everything but I've been reading a lot and did a ton of research before the surgery and still do a lot now. Btw, my NUT and Doc both said to eat 6-7 small meals a day, instead of spacing them out--and that also helped me.

    Thanks Ladies!! I really appreciate your advice. I will try mixing the protein powder in my meals as well as eating the 6-7 small meals a day. I had stopped taking my prilosec so i will get back on track. Thanks again!

    I'm 10 days out also and feel like I could eat everything in the house. I want to chew food. Tired of drinking. I know I have to do better than this. I'm afraid I have already stretched my sleeve. Trying to stay motivated. Any advice is welcome! You all seem so focused! Good luck to everyone!

    I definately need to incorporate protein into my diet. Your right the soups and liquid isn't doing much for me either. Next weds. I get to try pureed food.. the options seem more feeling but pureed food doesn't sound good lol.
