Eat?

[Dame21 23]

I'm only 4 days post op, but I'm wanting food. Is this normal?

Yes. It is. Don’t worry about it because even if you wanted you won’t be able to eat like before. It happened to me also. Not only that, I actually got depressed because all I wanted was to eat, eat, eat! That was the moment I discovered how much I used food out of emotions. I got bored, sad, angry but then... it all went away. Give it time. Your brain needs to learn, and it will. Congratulations!

I was also super hungry post op and wanted to eat everything. Now that I'm back on regular food, I don't have that feeling and am content with my relationship with food.

Glad I'm not alone here.. 4days post op now and I get really sad looking at solid food that I can't touch. Having all the bad cravings for all those solid food even just Cereal 🥲

I got through it by cooking and watching my family eat stuff I couldn’t eat 😂😂

I'm six days post-op and for the last two days I've been rather obsessed with "real" food. It's definitely "head hunger" for me. I found myself watching hours of youtube recipe videos, etc, but, the thought of actually eating the stuff immediately makes me feel ill. I'm just missing my food, I guess! I'm now consciously trying to avoid food videos... except the occasional one about a puree-stage recipe.

I'm 6 days post op and all I think about is eating real food. I get so depressed for a short while and then I feel better, then I get depressed again!
