:w00t: Well, today is post op day 4 and I don't know how I feel. I think I feel hungry and the smell of food is really difficult for me. I have only been on liquids and proteins, etc. as I should. But I feel the overwhelming need to chew something. My post op visit is this Friday and then I can begin my pureed diet. I can't believe how I am looking forward to that. My husband said its because I am not getting enough protein so I have been trying more. I have been drinking enough. I can't believe how much food regulates our lives. When you can't have any it seems as if everything is food related. That being said, when I wake up in the morning and weigh myself I feel motivated, but the days seem long since I can't do much and I do get tired quickly. I took the dog out for two walks today. Even did some food shopping. I have never really had any will power, I hope I can stick to this.

I am in Day 4 and any/all food smells are torturing me. You said you can start soft foods after a week. I've been sticking to protein shakes, fat free popsicles, yogurt, soup. Did you feel bad after you ate the soups with the carbs in it?

I am 3 days post op. My husband just made dinner for himself and the kids and I really feel hungry. Should I feel this hungry? I am drinking liquids and the protein shakes. Why do I feel so starved?

me too on Thursday. Not much incision pain but tons of gas and feeling very bloated.

I have been doing the same. Broth, water, some protein shakes, popsicle and even some yogurt.

I am 3 days post op and I feel the same. Its hard to drink all you need to.
