Who's up for a Super-sized Value Meal????
Haha...just kidding of course. I'm ten days out and I am sooo hungry! Is anyone else having this? Everyone I talk to says they are constantly full like they just had a thanksgiving feast. What I wouldn't do for a thanksgiving feast! Haha. I know its stupid but it makes me worried that my pouch isn't there or something awful happened....really, I just want to know if there is anyone out there like me, hungry and ready to eat?
LB,
You are definitely not alone. I'm having absolutely NO problems eating 3 oz meals and getting 64 oz of fluids including at least a minimin of 60 gms of protein. Yesterday I had 100 gms of protein. I figured it couldn't hurt. I am hungry a lot too. While other people are struggling to get down a 8 oz protein drink, I can do it in minutes. I keep thinking they "forgot" to make my pouch, but I know that's absurd. Everyone reacts differently I guess. I haven't dumped yet, so I guess everything is okay. I'm still on full liquids for another 5 days. We'll see how differently things go when I get to eat semi-solids like eggs and cottage cheese.
I've heard that some people are eating pizza 2 weeks out. My own sister who had this done almost 3 years ago was eating lasagna on day 2. Of course she never made her goal weight, which is why no matter how hungry I am I sticking to this diet like glue.

Hi LB
I am also 10 days out.I guess I am just blessed because I have had no hunger.I am only allowed to drink 1 oz of fluid every 1/2 hour.I mix my protien power with 2 0z of water and It takes me an hour to fini**** using baby sips.My doctor told me to measure everything in 1 oz cups and baby sip it to last the whole 1/2 hour so thats what I have been doing.I could do more I am sure but I am sticking to what he says.I think we have to let you pouches heal and treat them like babys.If I feel like chewing do some ice chips...Dawn
