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