So hungry!
My surgery was last Tuesday. I've been on a liquid diet since Wednesday when I was released from the hospital. I've had spats these last few days of me being so freaking hungry! Granted, my family isn't helping-they're continuing with their regular diet like nothing happened to me. ITs been so hard. Protein drinks and clear liquids. UGH!!
I was on clear liquids the week after surgery. The second week was full liquids, you could add protein shakes with milk. I got really hungry too. I couldn't wait to do the puree phase, it is still a form of liquid but in my opinion more filling. What I did notice was that I was ready to move to the next phase every time. Hang on it will only be a few more days. My Dr told me he keeps people on the liquids to give your stomach a chance to heal and the swelling to go down before introducing real food you chew. Try some broth or crystal lite something different. I live with the same kind of family, there food smells delicious I think there eating pizza 2 times a week to torture me.
Good luck I am a couple weeks infront of you, and I think it will only get better. The weight loss also helped me cope.
