3 days after surgery and im hungry...



Recommended Posts

It happens. Some people feel hunger and some don't. I am one of those who did feel it. Just stay focused and sip sip sip. Hydration is so important right now.

I'm with you. I'm only 11 days out and I kept hearing from people how I wasn't supposed to be hungry, yet I had to keep telling my stomach that over and over again. Hang in there - for me it passed and I just got dairy products today. I was never so thrilled with a cup of yogurt in my life!

Your stomach needs time to heal from surgery....take in fluids (clear)....I am sipping Gatorade and it's been good so far! The smells of food are great but I know eating right now will do more harm than good....hang in there!

I'm only the clear liquids diet part and I have to say I'm having hunger pains. Is this normal or am I just thirsty??? I'm trynna stay strong but it's sooo hard when your tummy is rumbling and food is everywhere.

I completely understand! I'm 4 days post op & I'm having the worst hunger pains. I'm on the liquid diet & after being kept in the hospital for 1 extra day for nausea & not eating, I'm afraid to eat. I'm trying to keep hydrated but the hunger is so bad I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

You didnt do anything wrong! My nurse in the hospital had the sleeve done a year ago and she said she was super nauseous for a few weeks post op. Hang in there! Try soups! Tomato , cream of chicken etc... they help with the hunger.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
