Defincupark got a reaction from Frustr8 in Hardest Part (outside of eating)
So, I am 8 days post surgery, and I agree with so many that this is much harder than I anticipated. I’m wondering, outside of the difficulty with drink/food, what has been the hardest part for you?
For me, it’s definitely been understanding my body again. Before surgery, it was easy to tell when I was hungry, when I ate something that didn’t sit well, or when I overate. Now, I can’t tell one pain from another. “Am I hungry?” “What does that cramp/gurgle mean?”...
What about you?

Yeah, I’m finding it very difficult to get the Water and Protein intake I need every day. One day at a time, right?

That sounds brilliant. Are you already on solids? If so, did you start that plan when you were still in the liquids, purée or soft foods stage?

Yes! The gas and burping is so frustrating. While I’m at home, it’s not that big of a deal, but what do I do when I go back to work next week? I attend at least 5 meetings per day...

I’m about 5.5 weeks out and I find the stomach gas & noises and constant need to burp really annoying.
I agree it took a while to realize hunger pains for me too.....and in the last week or so I’ve been noticing them more. I have been keeping track of food intake through fitness app.....and this has helped tremendously.
