1 week post op and starving!!!

Hi everyone, So im exactlly 1 week postop today and i have to say it was harder then i thought. The surgery itself went great. (few setbacks, but great). I have already lost 13 pounds. The only problem is.. !!!!IM STARVING!!!!! Im so hungry. I swear i could eat a cow. Im tring to drink all the water and stuff that im supposed to, but its notr working. Im just hungry... Can anyone tell me what i can do to kept myself from being hungry!!! anything that will help. Thanks, Mary

If this any consolation, it's in your head.  The first few weeks I was craving anything and everything and mostly missing the chewing.  I promise you that once you actually put food in your mouth you will be so full, so quickly, it might even hurt.  Actually, I can guarantee it will hurt.  It takes time to figure out how much is enough and what is just too much.   Just keep saying to yourself, its my head playing games with me.  Ketosis will take over and you will not even want food.   Good luck and hang in there, I promise it gets way different very quickly Tee

I too am a week out post-surgery.  I eat some sugar free jello, sugar free ice-pops etc.     I haven't felt all that hungry though.  I am still trying to perfect my eating, sleeping, pill schedule.
