were you hungry during your post op liquid stage?

I am on it right now. And yes. I am hungry. But it is definately easier than doing the same diet pre op. Though mine thankfully wasn't weeks of that, just 3 days. I do know I can't wait for pureed. Never ever would have thought I would say that...but I feel like I need something more solid.
I never was. I think it was the whole healing and detoxing thing. I was one who had to schedule my alarms to remind me that it was time.

Nope! Never was hungry until about 3 months out and then it wasn't even real hunger - it was acid. I do get "hungry" now, but not in at all the same way I did before. Not once in the last five months have I HAD to eat. Sure, I know it's time to eat, but that's about it. Most of the time on the weekends I forget to eat! Who would have thought? LOL!
I wasn't. (Still in the first two weeks but don't have to stick to liquids now.)
Drinking was easy for me after the first couple of days when I was experiencing nausea. By day four I think I got down 3 shakes and after that it has been 4 a day, with soup once and water and such. My main issue is that I really needed that soup. It was the flavor I needed--and it tasted SO GOOD.
So there was no hunger because I was having to drink stuff fairly often. I would have to say rather than "hunger" there would be a need for something not sweet. Which is where the soups came in.
