I don't find myself wanting to eat everything I see. I think i need something with more substance because feeling hungry all the time. I detest that feeling. Any tips on how to get thru the liquid faze. My ppwk states I can't add shakes until after the 7th day of being of home. homehomeOmg I get to go home today..... I am going stir crazy

Are you on an acid reducer? Like Prilosec. I think it's unusual to feel hunger after just having surgery (I think you said you are just going home from the hospital). I've read a lot of folks suggesting that the "hunger" you are feeling at this point my be acid. Before you leave the hospital perhaps you could ask about one. Personally I didn't experience hunger until about week 6 and I think even now I feel hunger is in my head and a result of falling behind on my liquids. Good luck to you and congrats on your surgery! I got thru the liquid phase sipping alot of clear broths and with the dreaded clear Isopure (I like it). I think the protein really staves off hunger.

I don't feel any hunger & I am 2.5 weeks out. What I do feel, that feels similar is bubbles of gas & the stomach trying to "wake up" still, from surgery.

Thanks Jen, just a few more days! I believe I will be much happier at the protein faze.

Robyn, I want to sleep alot too. I figured it was from the lack of food, protein, and daily vitamins!
