I'm on day 4 post op and I'm hungry! How is that? I thought hunger would not find me for awhile. I know it's just not head hunger as I went to bed and woke up feeling this way. My stomach is even growling. I had my first Protein drink which went down fine from 8-9, now it's 10 and I'm hungry. Anyone else experience this?

Thanks

I did not feel hunger but I did experience rumbling and some burning but it felt different to me then hunger pangs.

I also experienced this today for the first time. I think it's normal. It's been 5 days. I just want to eat something. Everything caters to sweets and I want something crunchy and salty. Broth is not the answer. But this period of time is short and it will benefit us greatly. We just have to pull through!

Everyone what you are experiencing is head hunger. Your brain wants what it used to have. It will do anything to get it. After you surgery your nerve ending have not healed enough to signal hunger. Please make sure you are sticking to the diet at all times. You will get though this awful stage of liquids and start eating normal food again I promise!

Yes but like one member said, your pouch wants water or liquids and it will give you a hungry feeling. I took her advice and drank and that feeling goes away
