hunger pains less than 2 weeks post op?

[PeachPerfect 13]

I haven't dealt with hunger pains pre or post op, but my mother got this surgery before me and I saw her deal with it. Uncomfortable from being hungry, not liking things she used to (like tea), not tolerating the Protein Drinks (vanilla, chocolate, anything shake like really), and really just being so frustrated about it. My mom was an emotional eater for almost half her life. I worked my ass off years before getting this surgery to kick that habit and learn new, healthier habits (and no I don't mean picking up a carrot instead of a cookie). I begged and pleaded that she go to therapy because even the surgeon explains, if you are an emotional eater this surgery cannot fix that as it will eventually creep up again.

I agree with a lot of what everyone has been saying (stomach acid pain is no joke and its just likely that it could be the cause. Obviously no one can tell what the problem is besides a doctor), I'm just like a huge believer in therapy, and I hope this all doesn't come off wrong.

Your Protein Shakes can be added to warm liquids as Creamer for sugar free hot chocolate, tea lattes and coffee (if you are allowed it)

This was only way i could tolerate them early on

Also whenever symptoms get worse instead of better over time you should contact your physician

Good Luck 💙

It depends on your plan and tolerance.

What does your plan say about coffee and tea? Decaf or none?

To my understanding you can combine any plan approved liquids however you will tolerate them (water & shake, milk and shake, tea and milk, etc.)
