Re: Carers under 30...
@outlander, if I remember correctly, straws are no-go after oral surgery because sucking can disturb the clots and re-open the wounds?
Hate to be the bearer of more "tricky" news, but you're probably not hungry because you've gone long enough with inadequate food for your body to have switched into "starvation" or "fasting" mode. The hunger signal cuts out as a way of coping with perceived famine. Once you start getting a bit of food into you, the hunger signal will kick back in. As long as it doesn't do so at two in the morning! (If so... milk's not bad as a liquid hunger-settler.)

Re: Carers under 30...
Ah yeh ive really only had milk and water the past 3 days except some thicker liquids like a soup and abit of mashed potato today.
One side is settling abit but the other side that had 3 plus extra sutures seems to be getting worse esp in pain even tonight after pain meds etc. If it doesnt settle within another day or 2 might just consult with my gp as my specilist is 2 hrs from me just to make sure we are on the right track. Itll have been 5 days since op by then. @Smc

@outlander, I assume they've got you on precautionary antibiotics?

Re: Carers under 30...
going okish, still really low on energy though. taking ages to get some energy back. didn't think GA would last this long but the lack of nutrition atm probably isn't helping much either.
