ikester280 2 Posted October 28, 2015 Had the surgery on the 26th. It went very well. The pain was and is what was expected and is very tolerable. Today, i am having very little pain. Thanks to all for the advice to get up and walk early and often. I have done quite a bit of walking and i think that has made the difference. Doing the Clear Liquids. My hunger so far is non existant. That having been said, i look forwrd to the puree stage. Would be nice the get a little substance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drmeow 323 Posted October 28, 2015 I had my surgery on the 26th also, but unlike you, i have been starving since I first woke up! I thought this would take away my appetite for awhile but it really hasn't. I did read somewhere that stomach acid can make you feel like you're hungry so I'm going to try an antacid and see if that helps. I switched from the prescribed pain meds to regular tylenol as soon as I got home, and that seems to be enough for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Candidate 3,215 Posted October 28, 2015 @@drmeow See if your doctor will prescribe you a PPI for the acid. I was on Protonix for the first two months. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
