I'm about 55 hours post op and am feeling my first real hunger pangs. So strange to not eat yet not feel hungry.

I actually haven't felt any hunger pains yet. I'm really on a schedule to make sure I'm getting my protein in. In a way, it's very freeing to not obsess about what I'm going to eat. (But I can't wait to get to the soft food stage next week so I can taste something other than chocolate, soup and fruit-flavored drinks!)

OK - I'm making an attempt at drinking a protein shake. Hope it goes down well.

Ok - no problem with that. Now I'm going to try some tomato soup.

I'm 2 days post up tooooo. No hunger super thirsty. Scared to drink.

Just take it slow. I was just sipping at first. We have a brand new digestive system and we have to re-learn how to use it.

I'm 2 days post-op too. All I've had so far is broth, sf Popsicles, sf jello and G2. My mommy (I'm 36, lol) just went to the store to get V8 and creamed soups for me to try. I'm glad, because my new stomach is hungry!!!!

The tomato soup went down fine - I made sure it was milk-free.

That's great if your able to drink with out any problems. I'm just afraid I'll gag n my incision will rip. Also I'm not able to pass gas!!!! Somebody help'nn

For gas, take Gas-X. I was taking 1 an hour on the first day post op. Also, walk - move around. Walking really helped.

I've been walking in the hallways of the hospital. It's not helping. It hurting me do much. Scared when I do pass gas it'll kill me ;(

Keep walking. It takes a while but eventually you will get relief. Most people have the gas for several days after they get home. Comes with the territory. And don't worry, gagging and passing gas will not rip open your sleeve. If it did, we all would have been in emergency surgery.

I'm afraid gas that will Come would hurt bad!!

For me, it hurt much worse keeping it in. I don't remember any discomfort when it came out...kinda like a few hiccups, then it was over and I felt better.
