Terribj- the tatter tot made me laugh! Thanks for that. Also very interesting on the hormones, thanks for sharing that!!!! I do get pangs when I've gone a little over my hour without drinking fluids, but the hunger is all mental. Preparing food for my husband is torture sometimes, and I think I do it as an exercise of offering a meal to someone I love since I can't have it, haha! Is like a food mourning ritual. Thanks everyone for your insight and for normalizing what I'm going through right now!!!!!

For the had pain in shoulder the only that helps me is walking, and waking a lot. For the calf.... I woke up on day 7 post op with sore and spasms on both calves. Drink some coconut water and plenty of electrolytes. Sometimes it's lack of potassium or water. If you're on birth control that would also bring on the cramping with no food in our system. But like everyone says definitely seek medical advise on calf in case it's a clot.

I'm 8 days post op and head hunger is getting to me... Or its the depletion of nutrition, that I'm super emotional and cry or get angry frequently... Anyone else feeling similar? Anyone else feeling frustrated during the 2wk clear liquids phase??? I've been already doing liquid vitamins and hoping it helps my mood swings and liquid protein/not shakes yet ( Dr's orders). Please anyone finding it emotionally challenging share!!!!
