question about hunger



Recommended Posts

I don't know if this was discussed before or not, but I'm a month out and am HUNGRY! It's NOT in my head, I stop and listen if it's tummy hunger or head hunger, it's down right tummy hunger:angry:. . . wasn't this supposed to stop? wasn't this the reason i got the surgery? errrrrrr, so irratating. . .but i continue with my semi solid diet and drink my Water as usual, no cheating, no extra eating. . .anyone experience this annoying thing?

I'm right there with you!! I feel the hunger pains in my stomach still, I was soooo disappointed! Every couple of hours it usually starts, I'm hoping it's just because we're not getting enough in yet, and that it will go away soon!!

Protein.

It really does work. At 5 months I must admit I still don't feel *hungry* I just get a vague feeling I need something. Also you should be hungry. You are surviving on very little calories. The stomach is not the only organ that stimulates hunger. A drop in blood sugar can cause the brain to release a hormone to stimulate hunger also. Protein will whip that monster away. As your blood sugar rises from a shake.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
