4 days post op and feeling hungry

I'm excited i finally did it! May 8th,2006 I had lap rou n y ; there were no complications; i still feel kind of tired and i am having to take pain medicine 2-3 times a day! What surprises me is that I am hungry!! I get that burning sensation in my pouch. If I drink water it is better. Most people say the forget to eat and are not hungry that is not me! I am eaing one ounce of protein three times daily and 2 protein suppplements a day (55G total)

Maybe you should try to have sf popsicles, sf jello, broth throughout the day. I had to have either 1oz protein or water every 15mins for the first 2wks while I was on clear liquids. It took me about an hour to drink my protein in the morning, then I would have jello or a popsicle, then some water, then back to the protein for lunch, etc. I was always drinking something but I never felt hungry but I did experience head hunger for about 2wks. Well I wish you the best Sylvia

I felt that way for the 1st week post-op...but now it has diminished greatly. I truly felt HUNGER, and the RN said... "No one says they are HUNGRY immediately post-op!" Well I did! However it passed quickly. Now...I'll have a twang of hunger at lunch time, but mostly, I'm like everyone else, and I need to remind myself when it is time to eat, and I need to make the effort to get enough in! Hope you find the same....hang in there!.
