Sf popsicles. I think at day 5 I was allowed to start Protein shakes. They took forever to finish.

I was hungry 4 days out. I was worried that my surgery didn't remove the hunger hormone that I was told it would. I am now 12 days post op. I still do get hungry but less now, and I am managing it with protien shakes, Soups and yogurt.

It is hard to say whether the 4 and 5 day post op hunger is true hunger or head hunger. I was really getting mentally down about missing my past go-to comfot foods. I am slowly learning to manage that part.

Yea I am I love with the S/F pops. I will be so happy even if I could do a 1:4 of the PROTIEN shakes. Have you tried putting in the PB2 powder? In your shakes?

Don't eat anything that isn't on the surgeon's"allowed" list. Usually only liquids.

Yeah tried both chocolate PB2 and regular. I use premier Protein and didnt care for the taste. I am not a fan of the taste, but it has gotten a lot better than when I first started drinking them. Have to stick with the chocolate flavor. Tried caramel, banana, strawberries and cream and vanilla. Dont like any except the chocolate.

You should follow your surgeon's guidelines. My surgeon allowed protein shakes and creamy soups with no lumps at that stage. I found the most satisfying to be cream of chicken (had to remove the chicken pieces).

WHAT IS ON YOUR SURGEONS PLAN IS WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO EAT.

Is that a serious enough response for you?

What the f*ck is wrong with people today anyway? Why does everyone think their surgeons post op instructions are just a suggestion and not to prevent physical harm to their cut up stomach???

Don't worry. It's been perfect since surgery.

I'm confused Michelle Rose. These look like definitions of the various foods. What is the point you are making.

I think what most people think is "hunger" post surgery isn't actually hunger. The stomach rumbles a lot after surgery, which is a combination of gas, acid and the stomach just adjusting to the new size, healing, etc... Most experienced patients say that passes. And the ache would be some combination of recovering from the surgery, and the acid buildup. But you've lost the portion of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone, so you shouldn't have traditional hunger. Never discount the "head hunger" in the weeks following surgery, either. It's a real thing.

I really loved sugar free applesauce at that stage. Try it if it's on your plan. I practically lived on it for a week or so.
