[quote name="changesin2017" post="4384216" surgery was Thursday and it had been a rough couple of days. Finally feeling better today. Luckily have.had no problem with fluid intake. It's has been a breeze. Only problem I have now is still some gas and soreness in chest area and I am hungry! Didn't expect hunger!

Excuse the Grammer and spelling....in bed on pain med so I'm not at my best! Anybody else have hunger so soon and if so how did you handle it?

I had outrageous hunger for at least two weeks post-op. Very frustrating. Whether it was head hunger or actual hunger didn't really matter; they felt identical.

My fear of hurting myself by "giving in" to the hunger is what got me through it. I spent too much money on my pouch to mess it up!

I am now allowed to eat solid/regular foods. The most surprising thing is that I don't crave a single thing. All the stuff I loved 6 weeks ago doesn't seem appealing at all.

I guess I am just surprised that it's so easy to drink the fluids with no problems. I was expecting to struggle.to get in the liquid and instead I feel like I can do all the liquid and eat as well. I am glad I'm getting fluids and can get the Protein shakes in, just wish I wasn't hungry! I am so looking forward to cottage cheese and yogurts!
