1 1/2 months Post Op

[LidiBell 86]

I am a month and a half post op and this week I could eat the walls down. Granted the first 5 weeks were total hell. To the point I had to go back in for emergency surgery at 5 weeks. My energy level is back and I finally feel human again, but I feel guilty for being hungry HELP!!!!

You should definitely not feel guilty for feeling hungry. I'm 7 weeks out today and some days I

feel hungry all day, other days I force myself to eat. I'm not sure why, but I know it's not my

fault. If I'm hungry, I eat. I'm not going to starve myself more than I already am. I'll have some fruit or cottage cheese, that usually feels me up. Drinking a lot of Water seems to help too.

Just make sure it's real hunger and not head hunger as they call it and take it one day at a time. Good luck.

Find something to do; keeping reading posts on this forum for inspiration, whatever works to take your mind off food. It's your mind not your tummy talking to you.

Why did you have to go back in for emergency surgery?

I had a hole in my stomach. I was basically filling up with air on the inside.
