prednisone appetite

Any advice for dealing with my appetite? (funny how we deal with the extremes of every spectrum with cd) But I think I took in 5,000 calories today without a carb of exageration. I'm on a fiber restrticted diet right now from my ressection. That's not a big problem, because most things without fiber are delicious, but i'm looking for any advice on the best stuff to snack on or fill up on. I need to gain weight so it's not the end of the world.... but I ate an entire pie today so I'm pretty sure I'm doing it wrong LOL. Also, I'm guessing that the volume of food could be rough on my weakened gut, so I'm worried about that as well. I'm gonna try to cut down on the sugar, but any other advice?

thanks

You've got that right!!! I've never had surgery and I actually need a high fiber diet cuz I tend to C, so I don't think I'll be of any help to you! I'm on pred now and battling the out of control hunger - but I don't need to gain any weight so I'm trying to eating high-fiber low-cal stuff like oatmeal to fill me up.

I'm sure others will have actual advice for you! And you could search for "low residue diet" - I think I remember some recent threads on that that might help!
