Yes, I was very hungry and disappointed. I had no idea I would be so hungry. I started walking more often, it does help with hunger and I made sure to drink enough fluids. This won't last or at least it didn't for me. I 23 days post op and the hunger is better or maybe I am just getting used to it.:blushing:
I am 22 days post op. I too had a hard time adjusting to not drinking when I am eating. But after surgery and the liquid diet for 2 weeks, I was ready for some real food even though it was pureed. I really did not think about not drinking and I have gotten along fine and you will too.
I am 3.5 weeks post op. I have been walking alot but I too am having trouble picking up things. I was told by my doctor not to pick up anything heavier that 10 pounds for 4 weeks. I am a Curves member and my doc. told me to wait 4 weeks to go back. I can hardly wait. I really enjoyed the Curves circuit before surgery.
