Anyone hungry 8 days out? I think I felt it today, not sure. Worked through it.

nope... I haven't felt hungry yet, but I am eating 3 protein shakes/soup a day and getting in at least 8 cups of water and eating SF popcicles.

I'm 8 days out today and not really hungry, but if another food commercial come on, I'm going to scream.

I do feel hungry before my meals, but it doesn't take much eating to make it go away. It's not like I'm hungry all the time.

I was STARVING from day 4-10 or so. It was so bad I cried. Yeah, I cried from hunger. Not my cutest moment. But my surgeon said it's common and that it would pass; and guess what...it did! Now, 6 weeks out, I get hungry some but not that grueling stomach eating itself feeling. He said that may be a result of the inflammation causing your stomach to move/grind a lot. Best of luck!

I'm 1 week and 3 days post op and the smell of food still makes me sick. I am having trouble getting in my liquids and the protein shakes make me nauseated really bad.

Today I've had 24 oz water, 8 oz skim milk, 8 teaspoons total of cream of wheat (made with skim milk & Splenda) I will try more chicken broth tonight, but so far everything makes me sick.

I'm 8 days out and starving!! I've got real hunger and head hunger. I agree that the tv food commercials are NOT helping!! Ugh!! Hope it ends soon. I'm taking in 400 calories and all my protein but it doesn't matter, I'm still hungry.

Ok, I re assessed and am feeling better! I have not even doing enough protein shakes. I started adding one extra scoop of unflavored protein to my shakes and it took care of it! Thank goodness!

It can be stomach acid and a lot of people find they need something like Nexium for a while after surgery. Check with your doctor.

I am jealous! I am still on clear liquids 10 days post op. Oh well, a few more days and I can have one egg. Whoop eeee

Your eating Cream of Wheat one week out? Hows that going for you? Did your doctor give you something for nausea?

I want real food. Still on liquids 10 days post op. Taking little sips is kind of depressing b/c I can't just have a drink and be ok. No I have to swallow and wait to see if its too much and then sip and wait,sip and wait. I hope and pray we can drink and eat food a little better or I just can't say its worth it if the focas on life is still FOOD. Yes I miss food.

Be encouraged. I am 14 days out and just 4-7 days ago, I felt the same way. Today is my first purée day. It gets better.

I am 5 days out. I would not say that I am hungry really, but more like everything that I can't have looks yummy and I want it. LOL

Thank-You for sharing that so now I know I am not alone in feeling THE SAME WAY.
