    Default I'm hungry.

    I haven't had the surgery yet and feel like I'm starving between meals. What did you all have for snacks before surgery?

    For me, it was more my mind was hungry, not actually me. I would chug a bunch of cold water and go do something to get my mind off the want to eat. Hope that helps.

    Are you on the pre-op diet? I was told if I was hungry to just have another protein shake.

    If you are not on the pre-op diet, eat what you want. Unless you have to do something special for your insurance. I was self-pay so didn't do anything different until the pre-op started.

    Good luck!

    We suggest veggies, fruit or another protein shake. Try to keep the fluid intake up also, it helps with the hunger. Good luck and "this too shall pass" as it's all worth it in the end!

    Hi Andrea, GO BIG RED! During my pre-op diet, I tried sugar free popsicles anytime I thought I needed a sweet treat. I also ate fat free/sugar free jello. Stopped the cravings. I agree drinking an extra protein shake can help too. I just made sure I had something in my stomach like water or broth every hour and that seemed to keep me full (also helped with getting 64+ oz of clear liquids each day). I’m just 10 days post-op and I feel full all the time now on the same diet.

    The pre op basically sucks but post op it gets a lot easier. Hang in there.

    I found after about the 3rd day, i didn't feel hungry. But DON'T go off the pre op diet. It's very important for your surgery.
