I'm curious if you come out of surgery hungry?

The first thing I asked for was some Water, because I had cotton mouth so bad. They gave me ice chips and I was fine. I didn't think about any kind of food until probably day 6 post op.

Fortunately I'm still not hungry. Almost 6 months out and it's only occasionally when I smell a good food that I get hungry. My lack of eating is probably a huge factor in my level of weigh loss. I find that ok since I'm not wanting to be interested in eating other to stay healthy.

I woke up dying of thirst and hunger. I can't figure out how a stomach that's just been cut apart could want food? I do get hungry at 9 months out but it still only takes a very small amount to fill me up. I've lost 140 lbs in 9 months so I don't think it matters if you wake up hungry.

I can't do it! It will not go down. I am going back to a Protein drink for Breakfast and I'm choking down a Greek yogurt now. It's not by choice, trust me.

I can truly understand that... I first tried adding Protein powder to the Greek yogurt post-op, then I tried to eat without the Protein Powder, either way I was gagging as I put it in my mouth. I just couldn't do it.

Couldn't have eaten a thing and the thought made me ill. All I wanted were ice chips.< /p>

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
