ktsped 42 Posted April 18, 2012 Today is day 3. I had my first Protein Shake this morning but now I am having alot of trouble with hunger pains. Any suggestions? I am feeling very overwhelmed!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sal58 4 Posted April 18, 2012 This is day three for me as well. I have found warm tea eases my stomach since I am not sure if it is gas or what. I am on thin Soup for dinner and Protein Shakes in the morning. I have tried thinned down yogart with milk feels good as well. How are you doing other than the apetite? Are you able to walk much yet? I am still sore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWgirl 574 Posted April 18, 2012 Make sure to be drinking Water too. Sometimes dehydration can be construed as hunger pains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sal58 4 Posted April 18, 2012 I do sip Water through out the day. I am not really hungry yet but feel I need to put something other than water and mint tea in my tummy. I do have to take is slowly, almost feel like I chew my water even...LOL. I dip my spoon in the liquid food and then just eat what is left after pouring it off. I do burp a lot though especially after sipping water. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sal58 4 Posted April 18, 2012 I started walking around the hospital ward 2 hrs after surgery. It was not pleasant but it felt better than sitting or laying down for some reason. I was an avid walker before the surgery so I think that helped. I do a lap around our little loop on our street once a day and I can tell you I am exhausted by the time I get home. I do nap during the day still but so far have managed the pain with paracetomal. I am allergic to codine so coudn't have anything stronger. I just keep reminding myself that it has only been 3 days. The shoulder gas pains are at a mininum now. Just uncomfortable going from laying to standing. Insides don't like the shifting. I know it will get better and I am looking forward to doing longer walks as the days progress. I know to give myself time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cazzy 725 Posted April 18, 2012 0% greek yoghurt mixed with skimmed milk will make the same as a shalke and fill u up a little more.. this is bandster hell at the moment till u get some fills under your belt, just stay on track and follow the schedule regarding liquids, mushies etc and hopefully u will get through this time without gaining any weight but just eat healthy and worry about weight loss after u start getting fills, the general rule is that most can put on weight at this time so keep going things will work out in the end Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
