5 days post op- feeling horrible

[Lyssa1824 3]

I had the gastric sleeve Feb. 24 so I am 5 days post OP. I feel crappy. I feel hungry, am I suppose to? I tried the broth as much as I hate it and I couldn't do it. The cream of wheat they said I can eat made me throw up (never liked that either) so all I have really been able to eat it sugar free Jello and sugar free fudgesiscles. I am not sure if there is other things I can eat at almost a week post op.. any suggestions??

It's tough at first, but hang in there and it WILL get better. Can you have Protein Shakes? That will go a long way to filling you and relieving hunger. I was allowed diluted fruit juice and it helped also.

Also give thought to the fact that it may be head hunger rather than true hunger. If you think it's head hunger try to distract yourself with a good book or movie! Good luck--you got this!

Have you tried making broth from bouillon cubes. My favorite is the chicken flavor with herbs and spices. Have you tried the sugar free popsicles? That is how I made it through the liquid stage. Also, what Protein Shakes are you drinking? Chike brand banana Magic Meal Replacement is my favorite. Fairlife Protein shakes are very good too. Hang in there. I'm 20 days out and SICK of Soups too.
