I'm so sorry to hear that. That is unfortunate. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family.

Hi

I think i am the opposite. I think my pouch is too big. i am 16 days post op. I can drink a big glass of milk in 5 minutes and not feel full. Any food I eat stays with me 15 minutes and then hunger pains come again. i had bad bleeding post op. There should have been none with plication surgery. i was supposed to be full after 2 or 3 bites as per what the doctor said but this is so not true. I have hunger pains all the time. The xray of the stomach showed it 3/4 full when i took about 1 oz of the barium so what is happening here? They said you will not feel hungry after this surgery but that too is so not true.

Thanks

Kacee, who did you have your surgery with? Also are you taking any acid reducing pills? I found a profound difference in what I thought was hunger.

Kacee, I am so sorry you are not feeling well......

Are you taking acid reducer pills? Nexium, prevacid, something like that. I find that most of the time what I think is hunger pains is actually acid....I take a Prevacid at night...and it has helped with the hunger thing...

I also can drink water/shakes/etc and not feel restriction...or full....once you start eating solid or soft foods you will find you will get full...you will know when you eat too much....or at least that's the way it is for me....I have never thrown up due to over eating, but have eaten that one extra bite that makes it so super uncomfortable....

I hope you feel better soon.....

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
