3 Days Post-Op and I'm Hungry!



Recommended Posts

Count me in as a member of the diarrhea club! :eek:

My pangs were definitely hunger. Some people don't get that feeling though - lucky for them!

Best of luck to you.

I guess diarrhea is better then Constipation. My belly hurts bad enough when I just cough....I'd hate to be straining to go to the bathroom. YOUCH!! :eek:

Thanks for all the input. I forgot that I had some pudding so I made some of that yesterday and that stayed with me a lot longer. I ordered some flavorless Protein and when that gets here I hope to add that in to some of my yougurts and stuff to help it sit longer. I have been keeping track of I've been eating and the calories and I'm hitting about 500 calories a day or so. Maybe I'll convince my hubby and kids to go for a walk later to help if I need it. Thanks again!

I had my surgery on the 23rd my post-op diet is.

Breakfast 2oz pureed Protein, 1oz pureed fruit

lunch 2oz pureed protein 1oz pureed fruit

dinner 2oz pureed protein 1oz pureed vegetables

This keeps me full all day. My problem is with Constipation haven’t had bowel movement since day before surgery. Started the Benefiber today hope it works.

I had my surgery on the 19th, and I am just now to the point where I am hungry. Try taking some plane yogurt and adding some of your Protein Powder to it. I know that when I was doing my pre-op diet, I was having a really hard time with finding something that would stop the hunger pains, and this really helped. Good Luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
