Hunger on a liquid diet
Nov 05, 2013
I was really surprised how hungry I've been since surgery. I'm not sure it's technically hunger, it might be gas. However, it feels the same way hunger used to feel, and I still REALLY have head hunger, so there we are. There is a stupid Wendy's commercial that is just TORTURING me. It's for the pretzel bread pub chicken sandwich, or something like that. It has melted cheese on top, and a piece of muenster on the bottom, and looks like it's spicy chicken. It's like Wendy's waited until they knew I couldn't have their stuff to launch an ad campaign for everything I love.
I know I'm supposed to be on clear liquids, but I absolutely can not tolerate whey protein isolate. It snots up the back of my throat and I can't get the rotten baby food smell out of my head for a day. The Jay Robb egg protein wasn't so bad, but I feel like it'd be better with some ice ground up like a milk shake. I've been drinking the EAS AdvantEDGE shakes, which I used to love and am quickly getting really, REALLY sick of. They're so thick, and for some reason, now they remind me of a Barium Swallow test. Ick.
My lovely, wonderufl husband has been doing everything he can to make things easier on me. For his own food, he has started buying only things that I hate. Yesterday he had tilapia and swiss cheese. Today, he's having corn beef and sauerkraut. He's so sweet! He is also getting excited for when I eventually get onto ground up foods, and thinking up recipes for me. He really is a treasure.
