NO MORE SOUP!!!

I am 22 days post op and this is my first forum post. I am struggling!! I know I am truly addicted to food. I am constantly thinking about what I want to eat. The other day I wanted fried chicken skin stuffed in a Hawaiian roll and dipped in backed beans. How horrible is that! I am going to be heart healthy and am not backing down! I just wanted to discuss with people who know what I am going through. I have 5 more days until I can start soft food and I am so excited. I do not think that I will EVER eat soup voluntarily again. I have not once felt full. I am following the diet to a T hoping to prevent any side effects. However, I find myself feeling hungry most of the time and it is taking pure will power not to eat things that are bad. I have had no issues with my surgery and am very satisfied with my weight loss this far. I pray for control over my food addiction once I am "allowed" to eat something other than soup! Encouraging words and prayers are welcomed. Thank you in advance!!

Soup is a "slider" food, so it doesn't keep you satisfied very long. When you advance to soft foods, you will feel less hungry. You're not going to feel full for a while, because the nerves in your stomach were cut and damaged with the surgery. It will take a while for them to heal. That is why you have to measure your food.

Thank You! I have been re-reading my post op diet teaching. That is what I was thinking with the soup.
