I started to get hunger pains around 3-4 months out..... And yes I started to be able to eat more..... Went to my Dr and said that I needed to up my pepcid. The reasoning is the stomach acid we are producing is causing false hunger pains. I also read another post on here about hunger pains and found the same result. So now I take 2 Pepcids and 1 Omeprazole and that works for me. I still have to watch and make sure I take in enough Protein and Water. Hope this helps.

Try taking 2 pepcids per day. I was always hungry also but it was from the stomach acid build up. After 1week of taking 2 pepcids hungry feeling went away. Just a suggestion to try.

Some peeps are so critical on what you can have and cannot have in these forums. If you like beer after you are healed.....have one ....or two. May take you awhile to drink them but dont let the "Food Patrol" in here make you feel guilty ( they are mostly woman). Me personally I went to a wedding a week before surgery and and had beer .... and mixed drinks. I was on only a one week liquid diet because I had lost alot of weight before surgery. I am always testing to see if I can handle certains foods and drinks all the time. If it doesnt feel right I dont do it again.

Yeah i have hit the 3 week stall now that I started soft foods. Went from 281 one week b4 surgery down to 246 3 weeks after surgery. Surgery was 9-12-13.
