Four days Post Op and starving!

[Bigred4160 0]

I have very little pain and have had some nausea but the hardest thing is that I am starving. I am still on liquids and my nut wants me to stay on them but I am dying for an egg or some cottage cheese. My liquid Protein is just not satisfying me. Did anyone else have this?

Also these huge Vitamins make sick, any suggestions on wha tis not so nauseating? Thanks.

Hi

I am on my 3rd week of liquid diet this week. My stage 2 phase (soft foods) starts next Monday!!! I too felt like i wanted to eat a horse 6 days post-op its normal and will pass. If the Vitamins are huge get a pill crusher or maybe you can divide the Vitamin. Reach out to your surgeons office before you crush or divide Vitamin. Best of luck to you and try maybe some broth(chicken,beef) for the hunger. I was told the pains are not really hunger pains but head hunger so you think/feel hunger but it will get better.

It takes a few days after surgery for the excess ghrelin to dissipate from your blood stream. I was ravenous on days three and four post-op. By day five, there was no hunger at all.

Gummy Vitamins chewed really well are easy to get down and yummy.

I'm on day 6 post op and havent felt any hunger. my wife feels guilty eating in front of me, but it is not bothering me. everything smells great but I have no desire to eat anything yet.
