6 Days Post Op

[Marnie85253 9]

I am six days out and experiencing all kinds of strange things. The full clear liquid diet is a challenge even though I don't think I could possibly eat anything other. I watched my family eat lasagna last night and that was tough. My body no longer matches my brain. I decided to give myself a treat and drink a cup of cream of chicken flavor Soup instead of just broth, big mistake! I have had explosive diarrhea all day! I think that this surgery is exactly what stubborn thick heads like me need, if I don't follow the rules exactly my body will kick my ass right back into place! I was also able to differentiate between head hunger and real hunger for the first time today in years. Wow, it's amazing how little food we need to survive.

Thanks for the post on your 6 day. My surgery is tomorrow and I am taking in all I can in the way of information on what to expect.

Good luck to you

I am ten days out and it got better for me. Today I realized I hadn't spent all day thinking about food!! Ok I tried to eat ice cream and had a tummy ache. Now I can't tolerate dairy at all. God has a wicked sense of humor....

I am five days out and I agree my body and my head are going to have to get reacquainted. I haven’t really been that hungry but am trying to say on schedule with the Protein Drinks and Snacks. I really want a Peanut Butter cracker and to me that is so strange. I have been having friends bring over lost of food for my family and it is a little hard to see but I am doing ok with it. Best of luck .
