2 days out of surgery

[vane86 39]

I had my surgery 2 days ago and lost 10 pds already. But it's so hard to put liquids down. Is anyone having trouble with this. Will this go away? I'm not even hungry is that normal

All quite normal! Your tummy is very swollen from surgery so that's why you hear the advice to take little sips throughout the day to get in as much Fluid as possible. Your esophagus may be swollen as well. Every day it will get better, be gentle and follow your post-op instructions. Some hunger may return before you are allowed or able to eat solid foods and that is normal as well.

Will the waves of hunger eventually go away? Just curious bc I'm 10 days post and I was starving at 5 days post. I've noticed each day the hunger decreases. I eventually want it to go away perm.

You're the first person that I've read, to say, they still like water!! This excites me bc I love water, nd I've read tons of posts, nd they all say the same thing...their taste for water changed, it tastes like metal or they simply hate it! I was sad at the thought of disliking water. Now after reading ur post, I'm thankful that there's hope for me, after the surgery::) Ty nd yes, ik everyone is different,but literally, ur the first person to say that u still love it.

I'm 6 days out and I feel that way! I have been very emotional as well. I don't want to eat or drink. I have been taking walks but today I think I over walked cause I was I tears

Hope we all overcome this together. Thanks for all your advice. I've been drinking Water myself but I wish I could chugged it in. Bit it won't happen. My cuts are still painful but hopefully it goes away. My prayers for all of you for a safe revovery.

I'm three days post-op and can only take sips every 10 minutes or I feel bloated and uncomfortable. But I know the swelling will subside, I will be walking more and things will get easier.
