I am so hungry!!!!

It also helped me to crunch on some sf popsicles.  I still eat those everyday but they were great in the liquid stage.

Hey Jeremy

I am eight days on the liquid diet myself so I feel your pain. I have been drinking chicken noodle soup (the liquid mixed with water) and grape powerade zero and sugar free popsicles and that has helped me. I think jello is ok too, have you tried any of that? Hang in there buddy!

Have started doing all of those you mentioned.  I need to make a point and drink a protein shake each day.  I'm sure that will help.

I know every doctor is different but we didnt have to do clear liquids once we left the hospital just total liquid, no chunks and such and we were told to do   1-2 protien shakes a day I had some head hunger when other ate but I stayed satisfied. SF popscicles and jello helped as well.

You can do this!

hey hero!
technically you are not physically hungry we don't get that anymore what you are experiencing is head hunger ....its the pits..since its chewing you are wanting....try this make a protein supplement, add sugar free cool whip to it..place in the freezer for about an hour and then chew chew chew...Popsicles help but they don't have protein..the above trick helps alot...your stomach is growling cause its having acid go through it...and nothing else please don't base being hungry on growls cause the stomach is closed off and is just nagging..like a fisherman's wife

Been worried about you bro.  I hope all the good suggestions here help you feel better.

I'm doing well just pretty tired.  The worst pain I have had is the gas.  The surgery it self just kinda makes you feel like you have done a couple hundred sit ups or been punched a few times in the gut. 

You going to support group tomorrow night?

Jerm

Not sure.  I have my stress tests at the OK Heart Hospital tomorrow and Friday.  I may be too wiped to want to attend.  Add to that I have to be there at 6:30am.  I DON'T do mornings!

Be sure you're really hungry.  You can think you're hungry when you're really dehydrated -- count how much you're drinking and then up it.  I've always required more water than they suggested and my hunger goes away with just 24 more ounces.  Do get more protein from jello and broth, that can only  help.  Use the protien shakes sparingly.  They also had me up my B12 to once a day.  YOU CANNOT OVERDOSE ON B12, so you might try taking it daily for a while and see if that helps.  Good luck.  You'll be better when you get to mushies.
