3 Days post-op...Cravings, cravings cravings! LOL

Jan 03, 2015

Ok, so i've been home for 3 days now and doing pretty good. No serious problems other than some gas bubbles which are slowly easing. I'm holding fluids with no problems. No nausea or vomiting and only minimal pain which i'm able to manage with the Loretab they gave me at my discharge. Today I finally left the house and went shopping with a friend to be up and walking and to take my mind off the fact that i'm craving solid foods. I know not to eat any and won't give in to the cravings, but WOW! They can be intense!!! It's becoming difficult to find satisfaction with broth and juice. I know I shouldn't be complaining, i've lost 4 lbs in the last 3 days and I'm able to take in all my fluid needs. I'm sleeping fairly well though I AM having some weird and intense dreams. My primary goal now is to hang in there till day 10 when I can add cream soups and V8 juice to my diet! If anyone has any tips on how to quiet the cravings I'd appreciate your advice!!!!
