Is it normal or possible to feel the hunger pain just a few days out of the hospital?

I'm sitting at work and I've got this hungry feeling. Its different from the usual tummy gurgling that's been going on inside of me lately.

Tomorrow will be day 5 since leaving the hospital. Is it too soon to digest a thicker Soup? Or like a custard (sugar-free) of course, or like cerelac?

The thing about starting out with liquids in amounts your surgeon recommends is so your incision line can heal. It's not only for weight loss.You have to treat it gently so there won't be any leaks or bleeding. Overeating or putting solids in there too soon could lead to a whole lot of pain & misery.

The sensation you are feeling will eventually pass.

What helped me more than anything was heated,clear chicken broth,the homemade kind.

Wonderful that you are already back to work. Good way to help be distracted & maybe not focus completely on food.

Warm chicken broth worked for me too! It not only tasted good, it felt good!

I also drank a lot of warm (body-temp) chicken broth. I added a little garlic, usually. I'd just sip a big mug of it like tea!

Also, sugar-free Jello. Guess what, it's protein! If you're making it yourself make it firmer - use about 2/3 of the Water instead of all the Water it calls for, and it'll set up firm. It IS actually kind of filling.

I also felt hungry pretty soon out of surgery, and by 10 days I was ready to take a huge bite out of ANYTHING, and thinking about making and taking a bite of a turkey sandwich was practically pornographic. (Imagine spreading mayo on the bread, while a deep male voice is saying, "ohh YEAAAHHH." That was my brain.)

Hang in there, you aren't doing anything wrong!!

Oh I also would add a scoop of whey Protein to Decaf chai tea (now vanilla chai!) and get a few good calories too.

Warm liquids felt better than cold ones, for sure.

I was hungry 4 days out, and hasn't changed in 6 weeks since. You really have to grin and bear it until you start getting solids though (not something people want to hear).

Oh how I wish I was one of those people that don't feel hungry, but alas ;)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
