5 days post op questions

[fancy4life 16]

I feel hungry, im so thankful for this app all of your discussions have helped me tremendously!! I want to thank you guys.

But on the other hand I'm getting my fluids in w no problem but I feel hungry, I've been taking my acid reducer so I'm not sure if that's what it is. I've had 4 oz of Jello , 4 oz of Soup and another jello plus my Water. Sips but my stomach feels like it's hungry. Today I had my first BM and it was diarrhea all day . I walked but idk my stomach just feels weird. I haven't needed any pain meds so any advise will help. The pain is not as bad as it was but I still sleep on my back. Last night I slept so good but still found myself needing a nap this afternoon. Maybe I'm just worrying about nothing can gulps of water stretch your new stomach??

I'm 5 days post op gastric sleeve 5/12

Please help

Water won't stretch your sleeve, nor will liquids, they pass right through.

If you were on a liquid diet preop and a liquid diet now, and not taking narcotic pain meds, diarrhea is normal for a couple days.

Needing naps is normal, you just had major abdominal surgery. Expect to need naps, your body is very, very busy working on the inside!

Thanks 2goldengirl for your response I'm gonna keep at the fluids , does the Jello and broth and Protein get treated as a meal - wait 30 min after?

liquids won't make touch feel full. I'm almost 4 weeks out and just started soft foods. On my liquid diey, I never had a sensation of fullness. Now, with soft foods, I feel that gas bubble feeling after about 4 table spoons of food.
