hungry after surgery

[NMJG 1,266]

I can't believe I'm experiencing this, but I think I'm hungry. Just sleeved yesterday. Is it acid? Pain? Granted, the last time I had solid food was 3 days ago, but I kinda thought I wouldn't be hungry for months. Your comments please.

I was hungry after surgery. However, yes it was acid immediately following surgery. My real hunger kicked in a few days after. That was true hunger.

My Dr told me while it is uncommon for most to get hungry after surgery, it is possible.

Please don't say that... I have my surgery tomorrow.

It's actually common, you can watch this video. This doctor is a good one to follow on YouTube. Hope this helps!

I too felt quite a bit of hunger post op. probably for about two weeks. It has since subsided . I am hungry when i need nutrution. i eat and am satisfied for hours. I am eight weeks post op and feel good most of the time. I do fatigue easily if not diligent about my Protein, Calcium and Vitamins. But not to worry the hunger will pass. At least that was my experience.m
