hunger pains less than 2 weeks post op?

I had surgery on 5/29, was tolerating fluids well. On my second night home I awoke to what felt like hunger pains I had about 2 oz of protein shake and it seemed to subside but came back every couple hours. Day 5 post op I started having difficulty tolerating any and all fluids, regardless of how minute my sips it hurt and my stomach would cramp. Today is day 10 and I am tolerating warm liquids only. I am not able to get the protein shakes or clear protein liquids down. A

Has anyone else experienced this?

    I'm so bummed now. I thought we would have less ACTUAL physical hunger as some of the hormones like Grehlin (sp) are eliminated? Am I having 85% of my stomach removed to be just as hungry as I am no

    I couldn't handle protein for almost a month and like you had to heat my liquids to be able to tolerate them. Even until recently some days my stomach would feel yucky and some days it would feel fine

Your Protein Shakes can be added to warm liquids as Creamer for sugar free hot chocolate, tea lattes and coffee (if you are allowed it)

This was only way i could tolerate them early on

Also whenever symptoms get worse instead of better over time you should contact your physician

Good Luck ?

It depends on your plan and tolerance.

What does your plan say about coffee and tea? Decaf or none?

To my understanding you can combine any plan approved liquids however you will tolerate them (water & shake, milk and shake, tea and milk, etc.)
