Am so hungry its awful

[BEXS99]

Hi

Im on day two of pre op diet and feel like my throats been cut, am so hungry, am in a foul mood and taking it out on others, just want to go to bed for the next 7 days till operation. Am on the low carb one, stocking up on mushrooms tonight, will look like one next week - anyone else got any good tips ideas to kill the hungar xxxx:cry:

Keep ur fluid intake up and keep busy. it will get better first first days are the worse.....tc xx

I'm starting my pre-op liver shrink diet tomorrow! Would hot drinks help stave off your hunger? what about oxo or something like that if tea and coffee don't help? (don't know if that is allowed - so check!) freezing your yogurt or low calorie squash so it's like sorbet or lollies - last a bit longer and trick your head?

I'll be watching your progress with interest ........

Good luck, D x

I felt the exact same way Bex, day two and three are the worst then four starts getting easier, I,m on day five now and its much easier.

Keep your chin up, its hard but it gets much better!!!

Aw sorry you are feeling this way, Becky :sigh: Fluid is the answer, though. Just keep drinking & it will get better ... hugs xxx :wave_cry:

Stick with it Bex...It's so hard but it'll get easier once your mind adjusts to the change of your eating pattern .

Soon enough you'll be reaping the rewards of your actions

Take care..we're all with you

My birthday was great thanks

The milk is good, im doing ok now.I was really short with people the first few days, you will be fine, honestly, your through the hard part now

I'm not as far on as you are, so not done the pre-op diet. I'd say try and drink a large glass of water before every 'meal' as well as in between. Sometimes this takes away the hunger pangs...
Good luck hunni.

It deffo gets easier hun and the rewards are well worth it! I found a pan of broth made with Quorn chicken fillet, oxo and white cabbage really filling, tasty and lowfat/carb. Good to pick at xx

I am like u but as everyone says it gets easier. Just came back from OH family celebration and dinner at restaurant and Sunday lunch and I have to say although my head was saying it is not that big of a portion, I cld not finish it.. even my oh was saying u must be hungry but I said honestly I am full so ur stomach does shrink.... hth xxx

 

[yorkiegal]

Drink lots of fluid and brush your teeth a lot. It honestly does get a lot better. Day three or four you'll feel like death warmed up, then you'll wake up the next day with tons of energy and won't feel hungry I promise. And you'll feel fab when you realise how much you've lost before you have your surgery.

Brush your teeth then bite a pickled onion - puts me off eating for a while!
Hope it gets easier for you xXx

how do u froth it up? sorry to be dumb lol

 

[Andy1968]

how do u froth it up? sorry to be dumb lol

What I do is get the carton of milk, them shake it vigorously ( the longer you shake the more froth you'll get)
And then pour in your coffee .

Hope this helps

Btw ... You're not dumb
