It will change, hang in there! It is most likely head hunger. Drink your Water, get up and walk, read, anything to get you "head" of thinking it is hungry! I was able to do Protein Drinks the day after surgery, call your Dr and see if you can start. Best of luck!

Hi, maybe you should check with your doctor. Are you sure you can't have Protein? You need the protein to maintain your muscle. Clear liquids could be with the addition of Protein Powder. I have unflavored protein powder that I add to my clear broths.

You should ask your Dr. about getting a script for Nexium or prilosec. There's some gas/acid in your stomach that can give off what feels (sounds) like hunger. You'll get that ongoing, but it gets better. I was on nexium for about the first 30 days to keep the heartburn down but also to keep the rumbles down too.

Need advice! Today marks 2 weeks post op. I lost about 7 lbs in the 1st week but nothing at all in the 2nd week. The 7 lbs were more like 10 days worth... What am I doing wrong? I have never heard of a stall this early on! Any advice would be greatly appreciated
