mn.batman 0 Posted June 29, 2010 I had surgery on June 24. I am on Clear liquids until my first post-op appt on July 2. Since my surgery I have felt full without eating or drinking anything. I have to force myself to drink Water and I can't even think about eating anything. I feel like I just left a big meal. My stomach feels really full all the time. Is this normal? When do I feel hunger again? I mean, it is nice because I am only consuming like 120 calories a day from my small bottle of apple juice, but I am concerned that something is wrong. Any thoughts?

Carrie_C 9 Posted June 29, 2010 I think it's totally normal. I was the same way the first week. Your stomach is just swollen from having the surgery, giving you some natural restriction. But it does get better. The first few weeks are the hardest. Hang in there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliansmom2003 3 Posted June 29, 2010 Totally normal. And trust me, you're going to be missing this time when you start healing LOL! Enjoy it now! Congrats on your recent surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyMom 1 Posted June 29, 2010 Treasure that full feeling for as long as it lasts!!! I guarantee you that it will go away and you will wish for the good old days immediately after surgery when you weren't hungry! Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JDShelton 0 Posted July 1, 2010 It totally normal, I was the same way for up to 3 weeks, that's where I lost the most amount of weight. After a while you start to feel the hunger again, so don't worry your body is just healing from surgery, pretty soon you will start to feel the hunger and then your going to wish, you didn't.
