Kbearden 1 Posted August 21, 2013 So are any of you actually hungry right after surgery? I will be in the hospital for 2 nights and from what I've been told its ice chips only the first 24 hours. I'm just curious if your actually hungry or if ice chips is about all you really want?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
angry 158 Posted August 21, 2013 Im 4 days out I think I may have been hungry twice, but Im still not sure I was. Im not hungry at all and have no desire to eat. I am only doing so because my nutritionist said I have to and I wont heal plus my hair will fall out without Protein. Based on the posts I have seen I am assuming this will change but this has currently killed my love affair with food and even my normal primal urge to eat to survive.

LipstickLady 25,682 Posted August 21, 2013 Not even a little hungry. Three months out now and nope, still not hungry but every once in awhile and when I am, three or so baby bites is all I can do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nikiw2008 50 Posted August 21, 2013 I just had surgery yesterday, I couldn't have anything (ice chips/water) til today after I passed the leak test. I'm NOT hungry at all. But I'm sipping my Water and tried some Protein Powder in some Soup, had 3 sips and that was enough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
