jesseycakes 103 Posted December 4, 2018 Today is day 8 post surgery. I have a lot of stomach gurgling and pain. I can't tell if I drank too much or if they are hunger pains! Any advice? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreenTealael 25,436 Posted December 5, 2018 (edited) If you cannot gauge by feeling (I never could) try strictly by measurements. Don't exceed the amount for the stage you are at (1/8 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup ,1/2 cup, 1oz, 2oz, 3oz, 4oz, etc.) Safe Journey 🎈 Edited December 5, 2018 by GreenTealael Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sillykitty 10,776 Posted December 5, 2018 My money is on acid + a healing tummy. It's more likely than hunger at that stage. 2 jesseycakes and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Puppycat 27 Posted December 5, 2018 I guess your best bet is just to go by what or wheather you've consumed liquid already or not. I think I'm mentally hungry but not physically. Personally when I'm full I burp up whatever it is I'm consuming at the time. That tells me I've had enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jesseycakes 103 Posted December 5, 2018 Apparently I am swallowing a lot of air when I drink. Dr. recommended exhaling before drinks. Everyone's always told me I was full of hot air. Now there is proof! 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
konseeted1 4 Posted December 6, 2018 I'm 8 days post as well. I have a combo of both. I finally was elevated to the shakes which I bought 3 kinds to date and I'm not happy with the taste of any. Tomorrow I see the nutritionists to upgrade to puree next Monday. Sent from my SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
