Wow you are on puree already, I quite liked that stage myself and didnt really get that hungry on it.

What sort of things are you having and how much? maybe its not quite enough or you could try having the odd slim fast or soup to bump up the calories a bit to keep you fuller.

Oh I had that on my pre op diet, I stuck to the diet but only because I brought 10 fags (gave up at start of pre op) and smoked them! Naughty but I had to get through it some how.

I'm not sure how I'll cope post op but maybe sugar free jelly would help, deffo helped me on the pre op diet.

I always get more hungry in the run up to my period, always have and the op has made no difference to that. I have a fantastic electric hand whisk which whisks semi skimmed milk to double cream like consistency, i make up a choc milk shake and turn it into a really thick shake with ice cubes added after. It really fills you up so you could try milk shakes just until your hormones calm down?

Hi the bonds,

bloomin hard isnt it, all i want is salad and toast lol(not together) xx

Hi,

I could die for a slice of toast during the day I'm fine, it's the evening I really struggle, not necessarily hungry but feel the need to eat. It's going to be mind over matter, and I'm hoping the first fill may help too.
