Hungry!

[Vespa]

Hey!

I had my op Friday and it is now Monday and I'm really hungry now- I can now have soups and thicker liquids but will be another 4 days before im on the soft food stage. Should I be this hungry yet or is it normal?

Wow, you move to that stage quickly I have to stay on liquids only for 14 days post op . . .and Im currently at day 11, it seems like forever lol

Aww no! It's strange how hospitals differ isn't it?! Not sure if I am hungry or just think I am? And I can't tell when I'm full! I suppose I will just learn it but it's difficult at the moment xxx

Yes its very strange and some vary by some big degrees. I guess each provider finds what works best for them, what they get the best results with and go with that.

I think its difficult to tell when we are full . . .altho my nurse said to me when I start eating, eat only until I no longer feel hungry and not until I feel full (apparently when I get onto food and have restriction I will learn to know the difference)

Its also hard with all this rumbling and gurgling in the tummy to know whether its rumbling cos its hungry or because of gas or never ending supply of water lol
