I am embarresed to say I have been hungry since i woke up from surgery...I am 3 days post op and I keep reading about nausea and vomiting and cant get enough fluids, I am drinking good and no N/V,,,Is this normal? Also what was everybody else eating drinking 1st or 2nd week out?

2wks and you're eating grits? Wow. I don't think I can have grits for a while...and I love em! Sorry they didn't agree with you!

I was on liquids for 7days then 2ND wk soft foods &this is week 3still soft foods not to bad.

I go to soft foods after 1 week then puree in 1 week....I could eat anything warm and not sweet right now...

I have liquids for two weeks! Well that sucks! LOL. Can't wait for FOOD!

oops...puree on week 3..reg diet week 4 if tolerated..

I have liquids for two weeks! Well that sucks! LOL. Can't wait for FOOD!

is that full liquids or clear??

Im on clear liquids till thursday then i will be on puree but more of a liquidy consistency. Not until week 6 i can be on a regular diet

Is it normal that if i eat 1 cup of soup i really dont feel full ? This worries me, like just today ive been really feeling alot better and im feeling hunger pains and i dont want to over do it on the broth but i dont want to starve myself either.

Oh btw my SW 299 CW 286 and thats being 5 days post-op but im being such a paranoid bum and thinking im goin to slip up and gain instead of lose weight and im only at the begining of my weight loss and i think that even liquids will make me gain. Ughhhhh i hate being fat and having all these things run thru my mind. Im sorry im ranting :-(

is that full liquids or clear??

Clear the first wk and full the second.

oh ok...he let me do full after d/c but i am being conservative...

as long as your not gulping it too fast, just sip sip sip...

Vicky I'm with you. I'm 5 days out and I swore I was feeling hunger almost immediately after surgery. I too have not had any neasau or vomiting (knock on wood). The only feeling I've had is the fullness from even just "sipping" water. They discharged me on a pureed diet, but that ain't happening just yet. I'm just having a hard time getting in my liquids.

sucks huh?? LOL

Sucks is an understatement!lol

LOL....
