Ok I am 1 day post surgery but I am having stomach growls and am hungry. I got nauseated a minute ago and had to take a Zofran to prevent vomiting. I have only had 2 oz of my protein shake today because before surgery I didn't like them and didn't know how well they would sit. It was ok but I only drank 2 oz. Any suggestions?

All you can do at this point is stick to your doctor's post op diet. The Protein Shakes will help but it will be rough while you're still on liquids.

Hang in there, it gets easier.

Sadly, you have to stick with the shakes to escape the hunger and nausea. Or maybe chicken or vegetable broth will sit better with you. I think it's like 1-2 oz an hour or something to stay satisfied. Don't worry, this too shall pass and once you get on your mushie foods it will seem like a grand banquet!
