thinkt2013 74 Posted November 18, 2012 Hey everyone! I am day 13 post op and i have a bad cold. I am so hungry, and i am not sure if it is just that I'm getting my appetite back or hungry from being sick. I have been having Soup and cream of wheat, as I'm not on solids yet. Anyone else going through this too? I am not sure if i should keep having more as my body tells me every few hours or just ignore it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CHEZNOEL 4,061 Posted November 18, 2012 I would limit myself to no more than 1 cup per meal, and3-4 meals per day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thinkt2013 74 Posted November 18, 2012 Oh ok i have been having 4 oz and maybe that's why i am still hungry. I have had 1 cup of Soup total (4oz each time) and 4 oz of cream of wheat. I will just keep sipping Water until i can have another tonight. 1 line-dancer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
line-dancer 810 Posted November 18, 2012 One thing we don't talk about on here is how our body feels getting rid of the toxin we have had in our bodies for years. Not only are we resting and healing from the invasions of being cut open but with the pre-op and post-op diets our bodies are dumping al sort of junk our bodies crave and hold on to. this often feels like a cold or the flue. first thing I notice is the color of my BM's they went from brown to blondies yellow and now back to a tan to brown. So keep up with the Soup and rest and if need to eat 4-6 times a day 1/2 c to 1c each time. The time for lossins is after your are healed now is for recovery from many things.....
