Hungry

[UPRR Wifey 89]

I am 5 days post op and find myself hungry all the time. Nothing seems to curb my appetite. Please help! What can I do?

I have heard it might be gas. Hang in there. I'm 5 days out too and I still want to eat. I can't really. It's just my mind saying wouldn't it be nice if you could have some of this or that. I tried some red bean broth today and it was good. I'm taking it a moment at a time. Hang in there, girl. You can do it. Think of your favorite clothing store that u haven't shopped in for decades. That will be ur fav spot this summer! Be fabulous!

I'm right there too but think it's head hunger plus gas. I had my surgery on March 7th. I believe I have become lactose intolerant after the surgery so I'm moving from milk and trying soy milk or lactaid. Honestly I'd rather not have any thing that that is milk like because that's how bad milk has made me sick. Yuck yuck yuck. I too always think I feel hungry but when I take time and feel out my body. . .I know it sounds strange but I actually connect with myself and I'm like are those hunger pains or is my mind telling me that I'm hungry. When my body needs fuel, I can tell the difference. It's strange and I wish I could tell you how it feels but it feels different from cravings vs my body needs some fuel. Best of luck and hang in there. When I get that feeling that I'm always hungry. . .I drink some plain Water or crystal light.

I have not lost my cravings and that was one of the main things I was hoping for. I'm very disappointed.
