I just swallowed a piece of gum' date=' i'm 4 day post op, Im really scare[/quote']

Call your doctor in the a.m. if I feel so k go to the e.r. no gum chewing anymore!!

I was a huge gum chewer before surgery, literally 2+ packs a day. I was told no chewing and scared of the consequences so I bought sugar free mints for when I really feel a need for something. I don't eat them like I chewed gum but it comforts me to have them on hand. No more gum!!

If you have any vomitting or can't hold fluids down see your surgeon ASAP. The join (anastomoses) between the pouch and intestine can get blocked. You should know fairly quickly if it is going to be a problem..

Since 1.5 weeks out' date=' I get hungry. Not head hunger either, legit need to eat. No cravings though which helps.[/quote']

I get hungry..actually more kind of empty and sicky..kinda.. Then I know I have to eat..cold Water makes me cramp..I often wake up with a morning sickness feeling..what I will say tho is that if I don't drink enough I feel more hungry..the hunger is funny tho...not a rip your head off I have to eat hunger...just mild.

I'm ten days post op and I don't get hungry nor do I feel full. So weird to me!! Sometimes I feel a little pressure in my chest. I think that will be my stop eating sign.

Anyone one else on a weight stall. I'm exactly 2 weeks post opt and haven't lost weight in about 4 days. I also am not having a bm so maybe that's why? I am suppose to start phase 2 tomorrow.

Is or were anyone else hungry at times within the 1st 2 wks post op? Just wanted to see if the hungry feeling I get sometimes normal.

I wasn't ever hungry. Just made noises due to the intestines being cranky & making lots of movements.

Is anyone else in this funk mood that they seem they can not get out of. I have no desire to do anything or go anywhere. I just want to feel normal. I am tired of liquids (not hungry just want something more that liquid) and tired of feeling out of place. I should be going back to work soon and really don't think I am mental ready. Is anyone else going thru this.

[KateJoeMama 5]

Yea I'm the samw way. Thanks that makes me feel better.

I wondered that too. I am 3 weeks out and had hunger, so added some of the things my nutritionists had okayed within the next week. I would try two spoonfuls and see how it sat in my pouch. Cream of potato Soup puréed with chicken stock did the trick for me.

I finally came off my 4 day stall. I think it was my mo. Friend! Lol TMI, I know. Finally down 2 more pounds. Now 28 lbs down since pre op, which 13 lbs is since surgery!!
