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.

Hello....I post op day 5 and dr put me on clear fluids for a week post op then full Fluid after....but was not feeling well at all just link constant gas pain or hunger? Believe it or not I made my husband homemade turkey stew and before all ingredients were added....I scooped some broth from turkey boil...had 3 tablespoons of it and let me say....it was 100% difference!

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.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
