at my one week post op,,,for first 5 days post op, had hard time getting in my fluids and liquids overall, but on day 5 it appeared that this went away and i am able to drink normal. Is this just me healing,,due to holidays i do have an earlier than normal fill on the 21st, i would like to feel like i have some form or restriction. Would love to hear any others experiences, my wife is 10 days ahead of me and states she has full ravenous appetite back, I do not have that, but am worried that without restriction i will revert to former eating patterns. could use any support that exists out there,,,,thanks guys

The stomach tends to swell right after surgery, so I think after the swelling goes down, it feels like you can eat/drink more than immediately after surgery. yes, it is you healing. Try your BEST to stick to the diet and do what the doctors have told you. I struggled a lot before my first fill, feeling the same as your wife. Tell her to hang in there, this is a very long process, try not to get discouraged. The hunger will lessen as the fills come. The first month after surgery is the hardest and will test your will power like no other. Good luck and remember, each day is a new one!

Im two weeks post op and my hunger is definately back, but I'm hanging in there. Tomorrow I move to mushies so I'm diopter excited about that!
