feeling hungry

 im two weeks out from surgery and today especially im feeling quite hungry. ive been able to handle it mostly with strained tomato soup but thats gotten old. i havent been able to stomach any sort of chicken or beef broth, the smell alone makes me queasy. i still have a week to go before i go in for my check up and hopefully get the go ahead to move forward with my diet. i dont know what else i can do to help keep my mind off it, or anything else i could try. suggestions??

Though i'm still a pre-oper...I found the easiest way to control head hunger is to find a hobby.

I picked up crocheting and surprisingly that mixed with a little t.v keeps my mind off eating.

I hope this helps and I wish you much success.

 yeah i definatly need to find something to do. i do a lot of walking but that doesnt exactly keep me busy. i draw but a lot of the time im just not feeling it. need to pick up some sort of craft. ill look into crocheting, i have a few friends who do it.  :)  thanks!! good luck with your surgery!

are you allowed sugar free popsicles or Jell-O? I lived on those and fudgesicles and pudding my first two weeks.

 i am allowed the popsicles but not jello. they have me on a pure liquid diet more or less. i can have strained soups but there are only so many that one can make haha. gonna try making a carrot soup and a tortilla soup and then strain them for some new flavor options. are there any brands in particular for the popsicles that you recommend? the only ones we've found are store brand and they arent very good.
