highfunctioningfatman 2,675 Posted December 17, 2016 It suck but we have to heal. That is the reason for the various stages. Have you tried Protein Powder in Jello or pudding? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
suzzzzz 1,005 Posted December 17, 2016 Maybe it will help to visualize your new stomach all swollen, red, and a long row of stitches down the side. Imagine how tender it is and how much love and tender care it needs right now. Only you can take care of it. Your head is trying to be in charge. Don't let it.

Sai 785 Posted December 17, 2016 Hang in there, once they graduate you to pureed foods, you'll feel instant relief and freedom. The pre-op and the post-op liquid diet is challenging but you can do it. There's been quite a few that post AFTER they eat things that are potentially life-threatening, but that is not you. Just the fact you came on here and asking for support, I know you can do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DogMom1204 34 Posted December 17, 2016 I had a feeling similar to this after all the gas and pressure was gone. Luckily I had a one week post op with my surgeon to get my drain removed, he said I should just try getting in more Protein and so far that's helped me. My situation isn't exactly like yours though because while I was feeling "hungry" I was still not able to get my liquids down and a lot of food smells would make me nauseous.

Dawnislas 74 Posted December 17, 2016 (edited) I made a vegetable Soup out of all canned items. Corn, green Beans, etc. for my family early in post op. Added some beef stew seasoning mix and Lipton onion Soup. They ate the vegetables and I had the broth. It helped me immensely.
