9 days post op PAIN with hunger

[2bullymom 44]

I was just advanced to puréed foods yesterday and have been doing great. My problem is hubby and I went out for a while tonight and I allowed myself tongi too long between meals (6 1/2 hours) and I got HUNGRY. Along with this hunger came SEVERE PAIN. Not just hunger pains but tear jerking PAIN. I have now eaten a little bit and am doing some better but has this ever happened to anyone because this is scary. This was like right after surgery pain

I right after surgery, I would get stabbing pains instead of hunger pangs. Really painful ones, over time, the hunger pain became milder and milder. Still, 2 years later, I don't feel hunger in the same way as pre-surgery. I get these mild stabbing pains, nothing really painful, just a reminder that I've gone too long between meals.

Thank you SO MUCH!!! My husband was ready to take me to the emergency room. I literally had tears rolling down my cheeks. Used to be prior surgery I didn't get hunger pangs until I was WAY PAST hungry and by then I was NASTY. Note to self...........don't go too long between meals.

I also have hunger pains, to where I must eat every 3-4 hours, the first week post op I was waking at night staving and would eat. Two weeks out today, I sleep all night but still need to eat as soon as I wake. When most people here say there never hungry and must remember to eat.
