Omg!!! This is horrible!!!! I had surgery 2 days ago and although my entire team says I'm improving daily, I honestly feel like [emoji90].

Everything makes me wanna throw up. Ice cubes, tea, incentive spirometer, sitting, standing, laying.... everything. I haven't felt this sick since I was a child w malaria. I am able to walk but even that comes with some serious nausea. I'm not at all happy w my current situation [emoji30]

I am wondering how you are feeling also, praying for you.

I hope it all went well and you are feeling better

I'm 8 days out and I do feel better. Thanks so much for the prayers, thoughts and checking in. I've been contending with this never ending hunger but just spoke w my surgeon and we'll see what Protein Shakes may help. La lucha sigue.

Hi! I am in the very beginning of this journey but I didn't think hunger was a problem yet at the 8 day mark. What has your doctor told you to do? Is it common.?Doing this so I won't feel as hungry...

[VelvetSpank 36]

I was hungry. I was terribly hungry and more so because I couldn't eat until I realized all my body wanted was Protein. Now I'm about 3 weeks out and I start my day with a few sips of my preferred Protein Shake and then a warm Soup etc. I try to finish one protein shake a day and it helps with the hunger. I have developed odd cravings but the protein also helps.

My hunger in general has abated somewhat but I'm almost never not hungry if that makes sense. I feel like my body keeps pushing me to find the right combination of foods to keep it happy. Now, I just began soft foods but don't have much affinity for the difficulty that comes with digestion so I stick more with liquidy foods. I suspect when I am able to eat a better rounded meal, I won't deal with the hunger and cravings as much. Everyone is different and I hope your journey is smoother.
