Hungry?

[Cricketsnoise 0]

I wasn't hungry at all and had trouble with even Water the first few days. By day 5 I wanted some broth and by day 7 I wanted some food. I think I was missing food more than hungry. I'm at day 10 now and can eat anything that's soft in moderation. It looks like everyone is different. I wouldn't focus too hard on trying to lose weight right after surgery, but rather healing.... though it was nice for a week to watch the weight melt off

I was not hungry the first 5-6days post op. I had to make myself get in liquids. Nothing tasted right either, I think a side effect of anesthesia? I called my dr on day 4, asking if I could have a TBL or 2 of cottage cheese. I had serious nausea and energy drain. He agreed and once I ate a small amount of cottage cheese I felt 1000% better. Today is Day 10, I'm still not physically hungry. My stomach will rumble when its empty though and eat something like a slice of lowfat cheese, yogurt, cott. cheese. But I just don't have cravings or uncontrollable hunger. I can eat 1C of Tomato Soup or 1C milk/CIB and feel satisfied for at least 2-3hr. I am fighting head hunger though. I thought eating meals with my family would be ok, but it makes me sad. I really miss a big plate of foods that I love. Until I can eat some regular foods (small plate) I don't think I will eat at the dinner table. I still love food and miss it dearly. So far tho, sticking under 1000 cals a day, getting in at least 50-60g Protein.< /p>
