Still full???

[00spark00 0]

I am 3 days post op. Today I drank about 4oz of an alba drink (on my recommendation sheet). It took 45-60 min to drink it. 8 hours later and I STILL feel full. Is this normal? I did not drink excessively or quickly, but can't believe I am still full. Did I do something wrong? What can I do to alleviate this feeling?

Sorry, I don't know what a Alba drink is???

Hmm...maybe it's just a new york thing. Welcome to Alba drinks

It was on my recommended menu from my doctors office.

After my surgery, I was not really hungry for a couple of weeks. I know other people really suffer during this time with hunger. I count myself lucky.

Just be sure that you're getting other fluids down so that you don't become dehydrated. If you're having trouble doing that, call your doctor. Some doctors add a fill during surgery. Chances are, as your swelling subsides, your hunger will return, but it's really important that you stay hydrated.

Yes I had this feeling when I drank a Protein Shake like 6 days after surgery. I wasn't supposed to drink it, but I felt so so hungry so I drank it and I think too fast. I was full for a very long long time as well. It will pass just be happy your full and not feeling the starving feeling.
