hang in there. You are going to feel so much better when

that drain comes out. The pain and discomfort should become a

little less every day. Have you been up walking? This should help

the pain in the long run. As to the feeling hungry, is it an actual

stomach rumbling? Is it possible this hunger is your head trying to

make you get back into your old eating habits? I know that eating

was my way of coping when I was under stress. I'm sure that as you

are recovering, you are a little stressed. My best advice is hang in

there it is going to get better.

I felt the same way you do right after I had surgery. I don't think

I honestly felt " hungry " it was more like I wanted to eat something really

bad. I was in terrible pain and completely exhausted. The drain made me

miserable and I wished like hell I had not had the surgery.

I am now 11 weeks out and that has changed a lot. The pain took a long time

to go away for me. I was on the pain pills for 3 weeks. It was five weeks

before the pain was gone. It was 8 weeks before I felt " alive " again. I

occasionally still want to " eat " something. But it has gotten a lot

better!!! It WILL get better for you as well.

Some people seem to have it easier than others I remember feeling something

must be terribly wrong with me that I was so miserable and most seemed to be

doing so well. The whole experience is just very individual. You have to

remember that. Give it a bit more time. One your drain is out and later

when you get on a regular diet things will be better and I suspect your

feelings will change.

In the mean time if you need someone to commiserate feel free to e-mail me

any time )
