I am so hungry at least that is what I think I am. I had surgery on Monday, July 2nd and everything went great. I am drinking all of my fluids and Protein Shakes. I think maybe I should not have used milk but the doctor said it was o.k. Could this be contributing to my hunger since it is a thicker liquid and I should only be on clear? I was a little confused because the nurse told me today not to eat cream Soup but at the hospital on July 4th they made me eat two spoons and some yogurt...which all stayed down...HELP!

Seems like every Doc's post surgery instructions are different. A Few days after mine they had me eating cream of mushroom Soup, it was just strained and had none of the chunks in it. I don't see any issues of you want to drink your Protein with milk, thats what Ive always done, even during my liquid stage. Especially if your Doctor OK'd it

When I think Im hungry, Im really thirsty. Try drinking Water when you get the hunger feeling and see if that helps. I also get a sf pop cycle and that helps. With the heat, I constantly have water in my hand.

Thanks....I am drinking now and it seems to help. I also have sf popsicles so I will eat those as well. He said the shake with 1 percent milk was fine, so I am alternating days between the Protein Shake and Unjury chicken noodle Soup. We will see how it goes. The only thing from keeping me from attacking my hubby's turkey burger is that fact that I know this new stomach of mine can't handle it...oh well on to the drinking..LOL!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
