Today is my 2nd day post-op from gastric bypass surgery.  Seem to be having lots of trouble with eating/drinking.  I'm just not hungry and don't seem to have any feeling for when I am full or if/when I need to eat.  I have the information from my surgeons, and have the right food, supplemements, etc. but just not sure I'm taking in enough.  Suggestions????

On my 2nd day I was still just doing liquids.  I sipped water constantly and would know when to stop because it would literally not go down.  I wasn't hungry for months but would eat a handful of food after that 2nd week.  You probably won't take in enough those first few days but it will get better and your appetitie will return.  That's when you have to go by the right foods, supplements, etc.  My second day was more about head hunger because of watching commercials with hamburgers, steaks, etc.  I felt deprived but that too got better.

2nd day?  You've been turned inside out--you won't know you are hungry again for a while....(my hunger is just now returning--13 months later).  Get those liquids in, and walk, walk, walk.  Just do what you are supposed to do and you'll be fine--and welcome to the loser's bench!
