Still Have An Appetite 4 Days Post Op

[TamaraS 235]

I also started feeling a lot of hunger around day four. At my week check up my surgeons office said I could start soft foods and I gained 5 lbs in 3-4 days. I could fit 4-6 oz of food and was eating soft lunch meats with cream cheese, no carbs (or so I thought). TERRIBLE CHOICE. but since I wasnt consuming lots of carbs Im not sure how I gained so much weight; its not worth it. Even if your hungry try to ignore it. My hunger went away two days ago and I feel like my stomach finally "woke up" so to speak because now I can only fit 2 oz at the most. I cant believe I could fit 4 - 6 oz before. Now I get pain and nausia sometimes after 1 oz. Maybe it takes some time before we can really feel our stomachs due to all the trauma of surgery. Hang in there!!

You will want to eat. The head hunger is terrible!!! Just control your portions. It's pretty easy with the sleeve to do that.
