Hello everyone! I finally had my surgery on January 9th! Everything went very well, no complications...no nausea, no real pain other than the expected gas discomfort. Spent one night in the hospital and home the next day. Within a couple days time I started feeling anxious about what I just did to my body ? and could not stop thinking about food! I got to thinking that I'm never going to be able to eat my favorite meals again which caused me to get all worked up. I then started fearing that I'm going to be a failure at this ? I did 3 days of clear liquids post op and I am now on full liquids for 10 to 14 days. Please tell me these feelings are normal ?

Hi All. I am 7 days post op and hungry. I haven’t had any problems except hunger. The protein shakes make me gag and the broth is broth. I didn’t have issues with the protein shakes before but they are too sweet now. I have liquids for 2 more weeks. I am hoping the protein shakes are less yucky as time goes on. I am so grateful for this forum!
