I too had surgery on Nov 1st. I just started with the hunger pangs yesterday (4 days post op). My doc has me on clear liquid diet until post op check on Wed. I wish you well!

Well Texas, how are you doing, cause me and janine on the other post op posts are dizzy and weak and feeling pretty awful, are you able to have creamed Soups or v8 juice? do you have a drain? thanks, and i wish u the best too...

I had Surgery Oct 25th.. I lost 10lbs pre surgery and am just now slowly losing my weight! My doctor said the same as the other post, its a combo of both the fluids and the anesthesia and not to really expect to lose weight right away. I HATED the food commercials right after surgery. I have never wanted a burger or pizza more in my life! LOL... When I went to my post op, my doctor actually gave me pictures of my surgery. Kinda creepy, but cool at the same time.

By the way, I was a big carbo addict and still CRAVE pasta's and potatoes.. I bought myself cream of potato Soup and that helped

Good luck to you
