7 days out and I want to chew something!

 It's been 7 days since surgery and I'm struggling today!. I want to eat something! More like I want to chew on something! Anyone have any ideas how to get past this??

ice chips.

I wish! I can't hardly stand anything cold. My pouch spasms still. 

Read a book or do something to take your mind off it bro. It's hard! I just had a gastric bypass revision. I have dropped 26 pounds since 2/22/16.  This is going to be slow and you have got to stick to the program. It is a MENTAL thing....

Stay STRONG!!! Time will pass.

Good Luck!

I'm in a similar boat. 5 days out and all I want is something to eat. The puree phase is all I am thinking about. I'm so tired of water, ginger tea and sugar free popsicles. I never thought I'd be fantasizing about mashed potatoes, jello and pudding. I'm tempted to pu**** since I'm only 2 days out but I don't want to hurt myself. This has been the hardest 24 hrs in this entire process. 

Good luck!! 

MelodyMay,

I know each doctor is different, but they fed me sugar free jello and sugar free pudding in the hospital.  Are you sure you can't have those?  By the way, where do you find the cool graphic that charts your progress at the end of your post?  Thanks!  Karen  :)

I'm going to start the Sugar Free jello tonight..could've started earlier but I wasn't aware. They only gave me water, ice chips and popsicles on the last day. Thought the pudding should come in the puree stage. 

The graphic is located under the Weigh In section. Click New Ticker and it will give you the option. 

Thanks so much, MelodyMay! 

I use SF choc pudding cups, I add a couple tablespoons of choc.  Protein powder and thin down with acouple TBS of skim milk.  

My doc had me on puree before leaving the hospital. Funny how they are all different. 

Yea, I'm looking forward to starting on something a bit more interesting and chewable too.  I nibbled on a piece of cheese and let it melt in my mouth yesterday.  It tasted so good along with some warm beef broth.
