Ummm...why do I feel hungry???

Hey Cheri!  Ok, sounds good!  My folks are here helping out and cooking for the rest of my family and I always enjoy their cooking so it's probably what the problem is.  I'm being good though!   LOL@ the beer and vodka...too funny! Thanks!! 

It's head hunger ... you brain is saying "are you kidding me that is all we are eating?"  I battled with head Hunger many time through my journey and still do on ocassion!  hang in there and drink alots of fluids hugs, Britt

Thanks, Britt!  I appreciate that!  It's good to know that others have been facing the same thing.

I'm not feeling hungry, head or otherwise, at all! I have no desire to eat but I'll tell you I am dreaming about the weirdest darn things!!! (a bakery the other night & I wasn't even eating anything in it or from it!!! There was another one last night but I don't remember it!!  Strange!!) I was told 4oz clear liquids a day & hold off a few days on the vitamins & protein powders. I have to call today to see excatly how many days are a few days!! They threw so much at me when I was leaving the hospital I want to make sure I got it all correctly!! So right now I have some warm waterd-down chicken stock... not so sure I am diggin' it but I'll keep trying!! I am having no prob getting in my fluids!! You have more to get in than me. Isn't it odd how drs differ?!! The pain is better so far today. If it could ease up a little bit I think I could move on to Tylenol but right now not so sure!! They were amazed in the hosp how little I used the pain pump. Really the only time it bothers me is when I am trying to get up... once I am up it's sorta ok. I haven't taken any yet this morning  - I am trying to get a feel for how it is today.  Well, now that I rambled... sorry... I agree with everyone else... evil head hunger!!! I haven't had to deal with it so I can't offer any advice yet. My only "grumbling" down there is in my intestines (I am assuming)... if it means the gas is moving I am a happy camper!!!   Cece

It must be the head hunger...BUT I made blueberry pancakes and eggs this morning for my family (they didn't want me to but I feel so good that I wanted to).  They did smell wonderful but I was good .   Glad you are feeling better, Cece!  Pain pump...wow.  I didn't even have one of those lol!  Oh and by the way....I didn't have liquid meds in the hospital at all...they were all pills.  Is that normal?  Same with at home other than tums and vitamins that are chewable.   Good to hear from you!

Sorry I'm late to the party!!  I thought that I was hungry too ...  Couple of times .. all the food commercials and the rest of my family has to eat.  Just so happens they went to my in-laws for dinner .. didn't want me to feel bad .. they had fried chicken.  Well I fixed them .. chicken broth!!  Just keep sippin and keep walking .. it's making me feel better !! And keep talking .. I never thought I'd live off a 3 oz liquid meal ..hmm so far so good!!  Hang in there ... I'm with you!!! bigron-->soon to be Ron!!

Too cute about your family!    Thanks for the input!!

I had a large problem with a growling stomach the first few weeks.  I thought it was hunger pangs.  It will let up... Rosemary

Thank you, Rosemary!  I appreciate it!

Fear not. As you graduate to denser foods, you will know the difference. Right now I think that you are just remembering all the foods that you could eat when ever. Our brains got hot wired to those habits. It does get better.
