Third day after surgery

THis is my third day after surgery and I am feeling much better than yesterday but still having some pain deep inside. It feels like hunger pains is this possible?

It's possible, but if you're not sure if it's hunger, it's probably not :) My stomach did all sorts of funky things the couple of weeks after surgery. When you start to get hungry again, it'll feel like the hunger you're used to, and you'll know it for sure.

I am also 3 days post op and what I believe I am experiencing is gas pain. Leftover co2 from surgery.

I had my surgery on Friday and know what you mean. It sorta feels like hunger, but then I stand up or shift positions and it starts to feel full. Just take another sip of liquid and it should go away. Good luck!

hi...i am 7 days out but i started to feel the same hunger pains at 4 and i wondered the same thing. i thought that maybe it was the mind, but NO...i have rumbles and tumbles and all! I AM HUNGRY! how do we get past this?

I am 6 days out, and agree. I think I'm hungry. Sometimes I think it could just be the left over Co2 from the surgery and that's probably part of it as I'm still burping like crazy. I'm trying to ignore it, but it's not easy. I keep a protein shake with me and it helps, but not for long. I'm thinking I want to start on soft foods, because I think I need to, but I'm afraid of getting off course and this whole thing not working. I see my DR in a week, and I think I'm going to beg him for my first fill as soon as possible to see if that helps.
