Looking great!! Looks like you’ve already lost a couple of inches.

I know the swelling is crazy! I told my husband that I went in for weight loss surgery and came out looking fatter! LOL! I think my swelling is gone, but from the picture, it looks like you still have a bit.

Today I felt hunger for the first time in 10 days! Dangit! I was hoping it would never come back. I was out running around most of the day, stopped by a friend's house for lunch (I brought my own Soup to sip), ran errands, and by the the time I got home 6 hours later, I was hungry, not head hunger, but in my tummy. It kind of scared me, if you know what I mean. Oh no, I thought, the hunger is back. But, to my pleasant surprise, after sipping about 1/2 cup of soup with Protein Powder, it was completely gone!

When did you first feel hunger, or have you yet?

I am three weeks post-OP and am just starting to feel some hunger, but it is nothing like pre-surgery. I am not really sure it is hunger though. Maybe a little head hunger mixed with real hunger. Still adjusting to my new banana size stomach. Nice thing is I am full after eating 3 to 4 oz of food. I have one week left on pureed food moving on to soft foods. I have soft foods are more filling. liquids and pureed foods tend to slide through quicker. Still I'm satisfied on about 600 calories per day.

Two days ago. It was BAD. But now that I’m on soft foods it’s getting better.

I am over 3 weeks post op and I don’t feel hungry often. I feel head hunger like yummy cheesecake. But obviously can’t eat it. But I don’t have a physical need to eat at all. I kind of have to force myself to eat. But the days that I am running around and super busy and off my routine I have to make sure and stop and eat throughout. I’ll eat a mozzarella cheese stick. I also am trying not to waste calories on Protein Drinks and mixes anymore and trying to get my Protein in through fish Beans etc. so that may also help my hunger idk?

Did you have pain in your stomach when coughing? I am four days post-op and it’s the worst pain I have ever felt.

You just had abdominal surgery so of course it hurts! Hold a pillow up to you when you know you will cough- that might help a little.

Are you walking? That helps heal the cut muscle and move the air faster.

Yay! So glad to hear.

I'm 11 days post-op and I just looked at my nutrition numbers on My Fitness Pal for the last 7 days. I've averaged 453 calories daily and 61 grams of Protein daily. Does this seem about right? I thought my protein average would be higher, but I fell short one day with only 40 grams, so that brought the average down. How many calories/grams of protein are you eating/drinking?

I'm honestly not tracking. I'm eating 4 or so ounces of puree every 3 hours or so. And one Protein Shake a day. As I eat more I drink less. It's like a full time job trying to get it all in !
