Hungry after surgery

[Emt Matt 6]

Hey all I have a question my wife just had the band done 2 days ago and she keeps telling me she feels hungry is this normal? I'm saying it mite be just general pain that she thinks is hunger pain....... Any thoughts

I dont knownof normal or not but right after i wasn't hungry at all..

My body was too swollen to be hungry... Hope someone else can help you more :/

Yep i agree with Blondie. I wasnt hungry for a few days afterwards.

I was literally starving to death within 48 hrs of surgery! I thought the first 4 weeks of liquids was excruciating...it's totally normal to be hungry or not to be. What's "normal" for one isn't necessarily for another.

I was also too swollen and couldn't even bear to think of eating.

About 7-10 days postOp I did start getting 'hungry'....but it was a lot different sensation than preOp.

Sometimes just drinking Water took away 'hunger' for additional hours.

I really got into the 6 week no solids routine. Wish I could get BACK into it again in fact.

It's delightful to not be so preoccupied with eatingEatingEATING all the time.

I was banded on the April 25th,Thursday. Web Saturday night came, I was starving. On Sunday I went to full liquids and everything got much better. Tell her to try some cream of potato Soup. Eat very slow though.
