4 Days Post Op. Questions

I had my surgery on the 21st. I have been lucky! I was up and walking the same day, my pain level hasn't gone above a 2 (if that) and I have had worse cramps I think. My question is.... is it normal to not feel hungry or even full? I am eating the 2 ounces of recommended food 5 times a day, but I could take it or leave it... I don't feel hungry and after eating I don't feel full. Is that normal?

Thanks!

Yes. Normal. I'm 7 days out and have been on clear liquids all week (~250-300 cals/day) and haven't been hungry or full. Start full liquids Monday for 2 weeks Monday.

I feel the same; I could really care less if I eat or not. I love the fact that I do not want to eat because it is helping me break my addiction to food.

Yes it is.i didnt get hungry til after the two weeks of my liquids then i went to soft food

It's completely normal. I'm glad you're up and about - it sounds like you're doing great!

I'm almost 10 weeks out, and haven't experienced anything like "hunger" since the day of surgery. I use a "Diet Minder" food/exercise journal to plan my meals for the day, and make sure I stick to it. If I didn't schedule my intake, I could very easily go all day without eating (and that would be bad!). Congrats on your surgery, and best of luck to you!!

I had my surgery the same day as you ave I feel exactly how u feel. Everyone keep asking me if I'm hungry. And all I say is that I'm not hungry and not full. I'm on clear liquids

I'm 5 weeks out and not hungry at all. I have to eat at normal meal times. The full feeling I feel that! If i eat more that my 1/2 cup (and it can be just 1bite) I feel it big time. Congrats and good luck! It will get better!
