hello
I think I'm kinda where you are in terms of post op (2 week mark yesterday)
I know before I had the surgery my concept of "head hunger" was that I might crave something but my stomach would not be involved - so it would be easy easy to tell the difference.. pfft I can't tell.. I spent a couple of hours last night being extra bitchy because I was hungry and wanted real food I could crunch (dammit!!)... I know I've felt what I consider to be hunger... the good news for me has been that it comes and goes in waves and so I try to make a point to remember that when the urge/hunger is passed.. that yes here again it passed
I eat sf popsicles a LOT when I start feeling that way.. when I was on all liquids I had a lot of warm chicken broth.. and yes, I can sip about a half a cup of liquid (any kind) or even more in a half hour period - liquids go down faster than solids so it's not (really) about the pouch capacity.. I say that so you don't overwhelm it once you do get solids - 1/3 cup is about all I can take of cottage cheese or scrambled egg.
omg that woman is so insensitive and I would most definitely say something, or even put it in writing.. because they don't call it "hell week" for nothing and if she's being that rude to YOU who knows what she's doing to others?!?
they are there to be supportive and to help.. not be a class A bitch.
let us know how you're doing?
