5 days post op..I'm not hungry..am I?

Apr 24, 2012

So I feel I should start this blog entry with a little bit of background information. Prior to my gastric bypass last thursday, I would be able to eat constantly..and I mean that more than I like to admit. I could go to my mom's house for dinner, have a full meal, and still stop for fast food on the way home..well, here I am 5 days post op and I am having a really hard time coming to terms with the emotional aspect of losing my "friend" food. My stomach growls, which I expected because my husband's tummy always talks to me and he has been such a big spokesperson for the "I'm never hungry" group.
I have watched my family come visit me and eat pizza, or burritos, or even carrot sticks and my stomach will start growling..I will get the same sort of "empty" feeling I remember before having the surgery and I can say honeslty that I am scared.
I wanted so badly to be one of the lucky ones who doesn't get hungry and had that extra bit of push to get towards their goals..It almost brings me to tears, and all I can think is.."I don't want this to fail me."
