STARVING 4days post op HELP!!!!!!!!!!!
I am 8 days post op an also have experienced this issue. This is what has helped me. Adding a little protein to even my puddings yogurt and coffee seems to satisfy. When the need to crunch gets strong I chew on a popsicle or crushed ice mixed with isopure and crystal light. Chew yr calcium at night. it helps with sleep.
At 4 days your stomach still has some swelling as the swelling goes down unfortunately your hunger goes up.
This period between getting your fills and getting some restriction and your surgery is aptly named
"Bandster Hell" and hell it is.
You may also look forward to some diaphram pain, this is a real treat I thought I was having a heart attack.
Just remember it does get better
P.S. NORMAL, NORMAL,NORMAL

Holy Cow, the diaphragm pain. At least I'm not losing my mind. I'm 6 days post op. The pain is much better today but the last two days I kept thinking what have I done! I am just starting with feeling hunger pains again. I've had a cold post op so I'm guessing that's been a good thing. After being on just broth and protein shakes for a week, this week hasn't been as bad since I can have creamed soup and yogurt. But, I am ready for some real stuff!
