Day 5 Post Op..feeling a little better :)

OK Its monday day 5 Last night I am happy to say I had my first full nights sleep I also woke up flat on my back and I was comfy this morning not feeling any pain or gas. I have been sleeping sitting straigt up. I dream everynight of food. Last night it was donuts lol.. I believe its been 16 or 17 days now that I have not eaten anything. Who could have guessed I could go that long without food!! Not me I didnt know its possible. I have to say that I owe my good sleep to someone on this website who said Gas X strips were not working for her so she bought walgreens brand malox. I sent my husband for some took it before bed and had a good night sleep and I dont feel bloated right now :tongue2: Thanks for that

I have been banded six days now and yesterday, I started feeling hungry. I started eating soft foods yesterday. I don't feel like there is any restriction. I have not been drinking while eating and trying to eat small amounts, but I am scared I won't make it through six weeks of this before my first fill. I have lost 14 pounds since I started the liquid diet prior to surgery and don't want to gain it back. I would like to lose. Any suggestions?

hmm im starving also i wish wish i could have mushies I really dont know any thing to help but I will say you have to remember you dont want your band to slip so remind yourself you cannot eat reg food our you could end up in surgery again.. this is what i remind myself. Let me know what happens

what are you getting by on Emily111?

That's funny. I thought I was the only one dreaming about food. The night before my surgery it was eggs, bacon and toast - a lot of toast. After the surgery though, it's been like I ate something and spit it out because I wasn't supposed to be eating yet. Funny how the mind works when it's at rest.

I dreamed of donuts the other night yummy I dream of food all the time :tongue2: yum yum... well vicki not much.. I am not getting any of the protein I am supposed to get I am just sick of the protein drinks I average 4 ounces a day my calorie intake is very low. Im trying though I just really am ready for food I mean its been 17 days since I ate anything

Is it normal to feel hungry 7 days after surgery. I feel hungry. I ate one egg scrambled according to my dietician that's okay. I drink a lot of water during the day.. I eat my lite yougurt, I drink the advantage atkins shakes, but i still feel hungry.

yes very normal I was starving when I woke up from surgery.. Some ppl it takes a lil longer to start feeling hungry but you will feel like that until you have a fill from what I understand.. I cant wait for a fill!!!
