3 Days Post Op And Hungry!

Why am I so hungry!?

[Kime-lou 648]

I hit that on day 3 to. I manged it on day three by drinking my Protein shakes thickened with ice and drinking lots of Water and having a little Jello (before people scream I was told I could have jello).

Day 4 was aweful. My blood sugar was dropping. I called my nutritionist and she told me to start on yogurt and thin mashed potatos. I was fine after that.

Moral to my story, if the hunger gets to bad call the doctor or the nutrionist and get some advice.

The body is not meant to do just liquids, so we perceive hunger. Did you have a pre-op liquid diet?

Just make sure to get in all of your Protein drinks and drink plenty of Water. Follow the advice given by your surgeon in regards to food, as you are healing and it is pertinent you don't let your stomach churn to reduce possible future complications. This stage will be over soon enough.
