3 days post op

[susancae 36]

I'm only 3 days post op. I am still on liquids at the moment. And I cant wait to finally eat regular food! How did everyone else handle not having food?

Honestly? I didn't even *want* food for a while. By the time I did want food, I was on the mushy stage.< /p>

[susancae 36]

I kinda want food. But ik I have 6 more days until I'm on mushy foods.

I didn't want food but if I smelled or saw something delicious I would want it. Those first few weeks sucked for me.

What would happen if someone ate food before their soc said?

[Jkim728 49]

You should call your doc and let him/her know you are starving lol. You could pop a suture (ouch)! This is usually the time you start to realize what is real hunger and head hunger.

Im not starving lol I'm doing fine with that just ready to test my band out and see what it'll let me have and not have!

I wanted food badly too, couldn't wait to get to the soft stage. I had a lot of savory foods (puréed black bean Soup, veggies Soups with cheese like parmesan or cheddar melted in), plus I put Protein Powder in veggie/fruit juices to get me through the first 10 days (I could not stomach the Protein Shakes post-surgery, although I had liked them just fine pre-op). If you eat something solid it could get stuck or cause pain since your insides are inflamed and still healing.

Yeah makes sence. So its ok to add fruit into the shakes?

[susancae 36]

Because I too am having trouble liking the shakes post op

[DivaSue 23]

My folks said no fruit in the shakes. Make sugar free Jello the Protein powder. Works well

I had no desire to eat for days. I was coming up on a week before I even felt any type of hunger at all. I had to make myself drink my shakes. But after a week or so, my appetite came back. Then I was hungry every 3 hours until I got my fill 3 weeks later. Now it takes me about 4.5 hours to feel hungry after a meal.

I get a little hungry feeling about every 3 1/2 hours. But it's just a little hungar it's not a starving type. But in not used to it. I'm usually hungry right after eat a meal.
