I had my surgery on the 17th and got home around 6 pm the next day. I'm annoyed that I'm still feeling hunger pains, shouldn't they be gone? Trying hard to get fluids in, my dietician/team has people on 4 day Clear Liquids post up (after I just did 14 full liquids pre-op) they do not allow milk things until 5 days post up and my dietician just called and told me I can half a Protein Shake tomorrow and back to full liquids Monday. My pain sucks, everyone has had this said the pain isn't bad by day 2, not in my case! I'm totally not a wimp when it comes to pain. I'm walking and doing what I need to do its hard to get some fluids down, although that's been better since day 3. Still no poop.

I'm day 12 days post op. I was in a bit of pain the first 4 days i actually had to use a walker the first few days especially to get up and i got tired very easily. If i was on my feet too long my stomach would feel like bricks. I'm still on a clear liquid diet until my 2week check up this Wednesday. I didn't poop until day 8 i ended up having to use a suppository. I'm feeling much better still some mild muscle pain in the lower abdomen area. And i do have hunger pains, i can't wait to move to soft foods. Lol i hope you start feeling better soon!!

FINALLY pooped! Still feeling hungry. I have heard all sorts of reasons why you have hunger pains, hopefully they go away ASAP.

Hi! I had VSG on 4/16 and like you I am hungry! Pain is tolerable but sore when moving, getting up, coughing etc. I hope it gets better and goes away soon.

I had surgery the 17th and was out on the 19th. Pain was fine in the hospital but I soon as I got home it got so bad. I also had my hiatal hernia repaired and apparently that’s where most of the pain comes from. The nurse told me to take milk of magnesia and it helps with the poop and got rid of a lot of the gas problems. I’m still having hunger pains too! Which blows my mind but maybe once I have puréed foods it will change.

Lol they dope you up good in the hospital! I had pretty bad pain in the hospital, then coming home I took my "BIG" pain meds (oxycodone) right on schedule and even called for a few more. That was frida y I called, I only took my oxy at night (or 1/4-1/2 of a dose of it was REALLY bad, like moving too much. Today I have just had extra strength Tylenol (meh) and a 1/4 dose of oxy to help me sleep since I am a roller. I plan on just Tylenol tomorrow, unless I do get out to the grocery store( with help from mom!) Full liquids for real tomorrow and I made and froze some killer homemade Soups in tiny portions. I just have to remember to get some beano.
