6 Days out and need Help!
Hey everyone! I'm 6 days out, had my lap RNY monday - went beautifully. Didnt have anything in the hospital monday or tuesday, wednesday they started me on water. Thursday clear liquids, now I'm on full liquids. WHY AM I HUNGRY?? And maybe it is head hunger but IDK how to figure that out. I thought I wasnt going to FEEEEEL hungry after this surgery? At least not so quickly. Help :(
Gotta tell you it's probably head hunger - we are humans and we like to CHEW !! lol and you have been drinking fluids this is only goes so far ! Give it some time, and just try to work through it - find ways to distract yourself - keep busy - that should help !! It's a very emotional journey !! stay on the boards for support !! Good luck !
Highest (that I know of) 285 Weight when I started the process 277
Night before surgery 263 Goal weight 160

I had two days in a row where I felt really hungry, and I think I was about 6 days out, too.. I really wonder if we still receive messages from our larger stomach for awhile? Mine was true hunger pain. It's gotten better, and now, I use those moments to have my vitamins and CIB. I'm still on full liquids. But there were those two days where it was really hard and upsetting b/c I thought I wasn't supposed to feel hungry anymore. And maybe it's not even hunger at all but how our body is perceiving the pain in that area while it heals. Who knows. Hang in there though, it won't last.
your head is just dying for food. I can't blame it... that's a long time!!!
Hopefully they will advance you to soft foods soon. Whatever this "hunger" is that you feel - is totally normal. you eventually will not be hungry, and in a few weeks will need to remind yourself to eat. Sounds crazy, but mark my words.
