finally had my surgery but im having problems

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem? Im 1 week home from the hosp. Im very hungery, thirsty, and dreaming of food. I follow all the directions but nothing seems to work. My sugars are high and im not loosing, what is wrong with me. Please help

I haven't had surgery yet, so I probably shouldn't respond to your questions. HOwever, I have a guess. Are you sticking to the liquids and have your made sure your protien is one of the ones without the high sugar in it? I've just read that some of the protien powders are high in sugar. As far as not losing, I wouldn't be so concerned if your following directions. Some people retain a lot of fluid after surgery, and that might be what is happening. Like I said, I am not an expert...hopefully someone else will respond very soon. Gesch

gayla yeah all my stuff is sugar free, im a diabetic and it has to be. Good luck to you on your upcoming surg. gina

Hi Gina, I am pre-op, so I can not be much help. I just wanted you to know that we are all here for you and hope you get things figured out. Did you call your doctor or the nurse and ask them?? Kelly

You didn't mention which surgery you had. I had rny and I have NO desire to eat anything. I am doing ok getting in my liquids and proteins. Ok with s/f pudding, but as far as real food.........nope! Everyone is different. You are probably mourning food. ~~Betsy
