I had a few questions maybe someone can help me out with?

1. Since Thursday (Aug. 27) I've lost 15 lbs, is that normal is that ok? I mean loosing weight that quick cant be right.

 

2. What do I do when I experience massive hunger? Last night I was going mentally crazy because my stomach was full but my intestines where empty and crying out for food and the broth was not subdoing the hunger pains it was giving me. What can I do?

 

3. Should I take my bandages off to make sure the scar tissue is healing correctly or wait til thursday doc visit?

 

Does anyone else have any advise?

The hospital told me to take the outer bandages off after 48 hours but NOT to take the strips off. Those have to come off by themselves. Even if they come loose at one end, let them come off by themselves.

As far as hunger goes, it helps me to know I can drink 1/4 cup every half hour. That seems to help. Especially with the protein shakes. I am 6 days post off. Good Luck!

1. Your weight loss is fine! Most of it is water weight because more than likely your not putting in as much as you are putting out

2. Yourgart helps with the massive hunger I know mine was waking me up in the middle of the night and yougart was the only thing that helped!

3. DO NOT TAKE THE LITTLE WHITE STRIPS OFF~ The will fall off with time I know they look disgusting, and your are so very tempted, but they will fall off on thier own once your are healed properly!

4. Your doing an awesome job, don't worry so much!
