What is this feeling_

I am 5 days post op. I just started eating yesterday. I am not having any real pain. But the discomfort - soreness from surgery, gas, hunger, fullness , I can't tell the difference. Will I ever recognize hunger and fullness like a normal person I can tell you I haven't experienced much actual hunger in years. Also, my G-tube drainage is still ALOT. It is supposed to come out tomorrow. Is this normal Lisa

Hi, Lisa. Remain calm, girlfriend! You won't feel hunger for quite a while. I'm over 4 months out and don't always feel hungry... just eat when I'm supposed to. Also, I don't feel "full" like I thought I would. If you're worried about your drainage, call Rosella and ask her about it... she'll call Dr. A for you and he can allay your concerns. I drained a lot, too... but I didn't stay to get the tube and stitches out... I'm glad you're still there to do that! If I had, I might not have ended up with an obstruction, who knows. By the way, are you there by yourself, or did someone go with you? Take care! Traci

Thank you Traci. .I am here alone and am desperately ready to go home. Thank you for your support. Lisa

I'm sorry, Lisa. I can't imagine having to go through it alone! I'm with you in spirit, hon! When do you leave? Keep me posted, OK? Traci
