I am four days post op & I dont know if I am hungry ! this sucks! I dont know when to eat I don't know anything right now HELPP

What staged diet are you?? When I came home from hospital I was full liquids so soups (strained) yogurt, pudding and liquids. I usually drank as much as i could all day and ate two to three times a day. Did they not give you some sort of guide?? My program gave us a booklet sample times and sample foods. If they didn't I would call them and tell them you need something. You probably won't feel hungry but right now you need to get liquids and protein in!!

they have me what to eat but i don't feel hungry. I can barely look at the liquid im just sick of it! im on my liquid diet .. im going to try some soap now see if it makes me feel better

I know liquids get tiring initially. I did liquids 13 days post op but it is so important to follow the staged diet for healing of pouch and to prevent complications like strictures. Just keep drinking, taking in soup. I found chicken broth worked best for me to get all my liquids in. I could put it in a cup and helped to prevent dehydration. Crystal light works wonders in water too to make it taste better and jazz it up.. Hang in there-there is a reason for this stage of the game.

Your body isn't ready for solids, but our mind sometimes gets the best of us. Just stick with liquids - try all kinds of soups, mashed potatoes, oatmeal. Lots of options out there.

thank you guys !!

Right now you probably want to rely on the clock to know when it's time to eat. I tried to stick as close to the times they brought me food in the hospital. The hunger feeling will come back as you heal.

Our guideline was every hour or two and in between have a Protein shot or drink , one or two hour food then wait 30 mins to drink and then wait 30 to eat vice versa ,you won't feel hungry I'm 7 weeks out , here's a guideline for what you have ..
