Full fluids for 2 weeks? ugh! I'm actually hungry.

Just like the headline says. 2 weeks of full fluids and I am finding myself hungry. Geez!  I put protein on everything but my water. Only been a week and 2 days since surgery.

Why am I so hungry? I am living on pudding, yogurt, jello and soup, all sugar free/fat free of course. I cannot have cottage cheese, cream soups etc, I am cream (milk fat) intolerant. I can only tolerate skim mik products. Unfortunately now I have to take lacteez before I drink my own kind of milk.  Aparently my stomach doesnt like lactose anymore. LOL 

I drink alot of water to. I do t frink decaf tea or coffee anymore. Just not feeling it.  Anyone have this problem? How did you make it 2 weeks? 

How about applesauce? Are you sure your body is actually hungry? or is it head hunger? Sometimes you really have to sit back and let yourself "feel" if you are really hungry or just craving food.  Hang in there 2 weeks goes by fast!

oh, yes, forgot applesauce. I do eat that as well. Hmmm, not sure if its real hunger. I just know my tummy grumbles like I am hhungry.  I guess I will have to see if I feel hunger or just want food. Good point.

I understand what you are saying.  I find myself hungry but I think it has to do with the stuff we are eating.  Most of what we eat is sweet pudding, yogurt, jello etc. obviously not the soup.  I find myself wanting food food but I think that it is more the head hunger thing than real hunger, although I have felt hungry and I then try to fill it with a protein shake or something similar.  I hear you, 2 weeks of it but if you stick it out you will enjoy some puree that much more LOL.  I am only a little behind you so I feel you.  I don't seem to have any issues with lactose or that I have noticed so I am lucky that way.  I probably have the biggest issue of getting in enough fluids but I am getting there.  You will and can do this, I know you can.  You should come out this week to our meeting in Innisfil we could chat in person.  :-) 

I bought some consume for the full fluids weeks and I can no longer stand it. I find I have to strain regular soups for the fluids just because they "taste" better. I'm a big fan of campbells soups. Chicken noodle especially. 

I cannot wait till puree foods. I'm already looking through my nutrition booklet to see what I can eat after wed next week. The thought of chicken, makes my mouth water. LOL

When is your meetings again? And where. Maybe I should get out to one. Pretty shy. But it would be good to have support and know others going through it. 

I love Habitant Pea soup and I just put it through my bullet before heating up and it ends up like a cream soup and is very tasty.  You could do that with the chicken noodle too I am sure. 

Our meetings are on Tuesday at 7pm at the Coffee Time/Eggsmart on Innisfil Beach Road.  Don't be shy we don't bite.  You will get lots and lots of ideas from other members.   Would be great to meet you after all of our discussions. 

Maybe i could come out tommorow night. Is it still going on? Is there alot of you? Could you look for me? I could give you my cell. I am pretty shy meeting new people.

I will message you my cell number. Yes come out we do it every week.  It varies on how many people.  Sometimes it is just a couple and other times we have maybe 8.  It would be nice to finally meet you LOL.  If you want I can text you (if you send me a text message) and I will tell you what I am wearing.  I can try to be there a bit early to meet you before everyone else gets there if that helps.  We have a very nice group of people.  Lots of information and we have people like you and I who are new at this and there are also some 5 years out so a good variety.  Check your messages on here.
