Post op- how do you know if your hungry?

[LaRein 20]

I am 6 days post op and still having pain. Don't know if I am hungry or my stomach being twisted with a meat grinder. Anyone else out there feel the same?

Hi. I'm 5 days postop. I had terrible nausea and vomiting postop day 0 -2. Vomiting subsided and pain set in on postop day 2. Never had any gas pains per se. The pain I feel is incisional pain, like a burning or tearing. I have some discomfort in my shoulders when I take a deep breath, but it is subsiding over time. Some morning I wake up feeling hunger possibly? I'm not sure. Sorry to hear of your pain. Feel better!

Thanks. I am trying to be hopeful. Everyone says it takes time, so I am relying on that.

I didn't have much pain but I definitely thought I felt hungry. I was hungrier one to two weeks after surgery than I am now at five weeks after. Idk what that was all about. I hope you both feel better.

When my alarm goes off telling me to eat something. I do t feel hungry and could go all day with out eating as long as I am drinking.

If everything under the sun sounds good to eat....even those items you absolutely don't like. That's when you're hungry. 😊
