Chris R 217 Posted March 6, 2013 I do feel hungry before my meals, but it doesn't take much eating to make it go away. It's not like I'm hungry all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
courtoomp 107 Posted March 6, 2013 I was STARVING from day 4-10 or so. It was so bad I cried. Yeah, I cried from hunger. Not my cutest moment. But my surgeon said it's common and that it would pass; and guess what...it did! Now, 6 weeks out, I get hungry some but not that grueling stomach eating itself feeling. He said that may be a result of the inflammation causing your stomach to move/grind a lot. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mactrio 41 Posted March 6, 2013 I'm 1 week and 3 days post op and the smell of food still makes me sick. I am having trouble getting in my liquids and the Protein Shakes make me nauseated really bad. Today I've had 24 oz Water, 8 oz skim milk, 8 teaspoons total of cream of wheat (made with skim milk & Splenda) I will try more chicken broth tonight, but so far everything makes me sick.

compass75 25 Posted March 7, 2013 Ok, I re assessed and am feeling better! I have not even doing enough Protein Shakes. I started adding one extra scoop of unflavored Protein to my shakes and it took care of it! Thank goodness! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AussieLady 521 Posted March 7, 2013 It can be stomach acid and a lot of people find they need something like Nexium for a while after surgery. Check with your doctor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hattie55 3 Posted March 11, 2013 I want real food. Still on liquids 10 days post op. Taking little sips is kind of depressing b/c I can't just have a drink and be ok. No I have to swallow and wait to see if its too much and then sip and wait,sip and wait. I hope and pray we can drink and eat food a little better or I just can't say its worth it if the focas on life is still FOOD. Yes I miss food. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
