Hello amazing people i had my surgery on 9-9 thursday around 4pm - i have regained the feeling of eating 2 days ago although ive been distracting myself - im now on my 2nd day of vitamins- Protein Shakes but i feel like i eat, when i smell and see people eating my brain goes into ape mode and i wana consume ive been trying to be patient but i find myself now calling my doctor to ask ( he wont reply go figure ) - so i was wondering what did others here feel and what they did about it? - im
Not gona put any food in my mouth until i talk with my doctor but id love to know how others here dealt with it - the hunger feeling is the same before surgery although i havent been drinking much Soup due to not being able to make it myself and no one sells it here like a broth-

As always thanks for reading and writing back , hope you are all doing well your amazing!

Buy some chicken and/or beef bullion cubes or powders and dissolve them in boiling Water for a broth. I found that the saltiness of the broth satisfied my hunger. I tried to eat something at about 5 days and it hurt my chest so I stopped and waited. It was enough of a scare to get eating out of my mind. I just stuck to the shakes and Bone Broth. YOu can also buy bone broth on Amazon and have it delivered if you need it.

I was the same way - I was like a shark looking for food. Finally my sister made me the most amazing seafood broth which saved me. Hang in there but it sucks - I know. I felt like a crazy person.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
