3 days post op and I feel miserable! Im hungry all the damn time. Protein shakes are disgusting and I cant keep it down:/ water and coffee is all I can tolerate. Anyone else go through this?

Congrats and hang in there….

It is a tough period. If you are not getting your Protein in, be sure to call your docs office and find out if there are other options for you….must keep your protein up as much as you can especially in the beginning….plus those shakes will help you feel full….water and coffee is not going to help you with the hunger…it will help with hydration as long as your coffee is decaf.

As far as feeling miserable each day you will begin to feel better and better…you are only 3 days out of surgery…give yourself and your body a break…it will come….one day at a time.

Feel better and call your doc…thats what they are there for!

I couldn't drink protein shakes either. I tried. But they tasted so terrible I couldn't even swallow them. When I was able to drink full liquids, I made tomato soup using a lot of milk for protein. Something about warm liquid going down really makes you feel good.

Exactly! During pre op I held my nose and chugged, can't do that now:/ tried broth so gross... got nauseous forgot my pills and had a few crackers nausea went away and didnt have complications.. needless to say crackers were the highlight of my day!

I leaned heavily on egg drop soup. Lots of protein and very filling.
