I hope not to bring anyone down here... I had my surgery on Dec 7th. It has been an interesting adjustment. I did not go "Number 2" for 4 days, then when I did it was like birthing a baby. So much pain. My husband almost took me to the emergency room. I must have passed pounds of stuff - literally. Even after the 'flush' that I did before the surgery which was extreme..... Now I have "The Runs" Also, I am So Hungry!!!! I wish that I was like others. My hunger has increased. It is so bad that it is hard to concentrate This is not "Head Hunger" my stomach is just rumbling and grumbling... You can hear it when you stand next to me. I know that some of it is thirst. Water has been hard to drink. Isopure has been hard to drink The only thing I can tolerate well is Premier Protein shakes and chicken broth. I have been drinking chicken broth all day long. I think that salt in it is causing water weight gain. I tried to switch to tea. Oh, the joy..... I know if is going to get better. Just being honest about my first 12 days post-op.
