Month post op

2 questions -

1. Will I ever be able to drink ice Water again? When I drink it down it irritates me =/

2. I don't feel hungry... That's not the problem lol the problem is I don't feel like I'm eating enough... Anyone else feel like this? Will I ever eat like a normal person?

It gets better as time goes on. I am9 weeks post op and can eat 800 to 900 calories per my nutritionist advise. I can drink any thing hot or very cold.

You will eat normally again. I can eat anything at this point (surg. Dec. 7) and the main focus now is listening to my body to know when I have had enough. Your focus will change a lot. Just make sure you keep drinking water, even if it is room temp.

Hi miss Tiffany I feel the same way. Loved Water now I get weird pains. Doc said can last 1-3 months. :(. I am only on week 4. It has improved but not where I would like.

food. My relationship with food has changed. Never thought I would say that. I am in Florida visiting sister. I was a cheap 2 dollar date at Mexican rest. I got a chicken taco. No shell. I watched family gorge on what I used too. Felt a little jealous. Them after about 5 bites no longer .... I love cooking and baking. Big adjustments.

We will be fine.

I love ice water, still do, I love ice. no problem at all with it. Good luck.

mmmm yeah I came out of surgery with the only thing taking away my thirst was ice water or ice. I never had that problem. I'm sorry I'm of no help.

I hear you on the calorie deficit. Some days I only get like 200 calories...I'm 12 days post op.

I'm 3 weeks out and I can have ice water now, I'm guessing that will get easier for you. I know what you mean about not feeling like eating. I find myself forgetting to eat and having to force something down. I'm sure things will get better though. Patience patience

I have been drinking ice water since the day after surgery with no issues. I love water so that was a sigh of relief for me. I am 15 days post op and I too feel I am just not getting in enough of anything except my water. I have good days and bad days. I have read it will get better!
