Third day after surgery



Recommended Posts

THis is my third day after surgery and I am feeling much better than yesterday but still having some pain deep inside. It feels like hunger pains is this possible?

It's possible, but if you're not sure if it's hunger, it's probably not :) My stomach did all sorts of funky things the couple of weeks after surgery. When you start to get hungry again, it'll feel like the hunger you're used to, and you'll know it for sure.

I am also 3 days post op and what I believe I am experiencing is gas pain. Leftover co2 from surgery.

I had my surgery on Friday and know what you mean. It sorta feels like hunger, but then I stand up or shift positions and it starts to feel full. Just take another sip of liquid and it should go away. Good luck!

I am 6 days out, and agree. I think I'm hungry. Sometimes I think it could just be the left over Co2 from the surgery and that's probably part of it as I'm still burping like crazy. I'm trying to ignore it, but it's not easy. I keep a Protein Shake with me and it helps, but not for long. I'm thinking I want to start on soft foods, because I think I need to, but I'm afraid of getting off course and this whole thing not working. I see my DR in a week, and I think I'm going to beg him for my first fill as soon as possible to see if that helps.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
