Shari Lou 0 Posted November 26, 2005 I had my surgery 8 days ago. I still have no appetite. It is all I can do to get my Water and Protein w/ soy milk down. I still have some port pain and the gas is making me crazy. I am drinking with a straw as prescribed, slowly. I am dropping since my surgery on the 17th I have lost 8 lbs. Should I just go with the flow and be thankfull when it comes to a screeching halt? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Firecallie 2 Posted November 26, 2005 Be thankful, I have been hungry (am 7 days post op) and have not dropped ANYTHING. I know that it's my body thinking i'm starving myself and Water and all that mess but it's still VERY depressing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ASPHALT ANGEL Posted November 26, 2005 I wasn't very hungry after surgery either. It was hard for me to get everything in that I was suppose to and alot of times I was not able to get all my fluids in but it gets better. I was told not to use a straw though because it causes more gas. Guess every doctor is different. Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liannatx 897 Posted November 26, 2005 Hmmmmm......I was also told not to ever drink with a straw (too much air).......only things that had a consistency that would GO THROUGH a straw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
