Am I Hungry?

[Cyprezgirl 0]

At times I feel a kind of sick feeling like I NEED to eat which I suppose is hunger but I don't FEEL like eating which I would normally think is my not being hungry. Which is it??

good question to ponder on. Is this sick feeling around the time that you typically would have a meal? Or how is your Fluid intake. I find myself feeling hungry when I am actually thristy. What I have been doing is drinking Water and trying to eat at meal times. Doesn't always work though. LOL

How far out from surgery are you? Many times an increase in acid production (or acid reflux) can mimic a hunger pain, so it may be what you're feeling if you're very early out. I don't believe I felt actual "hunger" for at least a month or so, maybe more. Now that I'm close to 5 months out I do feel hunger again, but it's not like it was pre-op.

Tonight was the first time I've really felt hunger since surgery 12/5/11. I get an empty feeling when it's time to eat but I wouldn't call it hunger. Today I was really hungry and shaky by dinner because I couldn't get down the turkey I brought for lunch at work so I didn't have anything else to eat! Def gonna start keeping some greek yogurt and string cheese there.
