Still Feeling Hungry As Hell After Op (2 Months)

[Fanter 0]

Hello guys, i'm 2 months post operation, and yet i'm still feeling hungry as hell. Most people i know that had op or people i

met online with op say they don't feel as much hungry after operation. Not to me, i'm feeling even more hungry AFTER the

post op. i just cant help it, i keep imagining all the foods i can eat and even when i finally get to eat i usually eat so fast (cuz

i'm so freakin hungry) that i have massive stomach aches and occasinaly vomit. i know that ur supposed to eat slow after

post op, but that's how hungry i am. is there any food that makes me feel "full? do other ppl feel so hungry too?(so it's not

just me). Please any help will do thank you.

I am about 7 weeks out and have become really hungry over this last 2 weeks. I have read enough on here that in most cases you ned an acid reduction pill as many can not tell the difference between hunger and acid reflux. I already take omeprazole in the pm and occasionally will take one in the am. Yesterday was a hunger day, nothing I ate made me feel full until I had a cup of pop corn.< /p>

I have a sister who is 4 months ahead of me and feels NO hunger at all, but she did say it was several weeks out before she felt that way. That your body has ghrelin stored in your fat cells and as you burn the fat, they resurface. Not sure but many also say if you don't drink enough fluids, same issue, you feel hungry. I hope this passes soon for both of us. Mine is only an occasional day, not everyday. The best of luck to you.

happy had a lot of good reasons why you may be feeling that way. the last is the one that we most often don't like to hear (especially me) but if all physical reasons (acid reflux, not enough Water, etc) have been ruled out, consider that what you are feeling may not be hunger. If the "hunger" feels like it has to be satisfied by a particular food, or if you feel driven to eat really fast, or if you feel really happy after eating it, those are just a few of my signs, others may have others, it may be head hunger and not physical hunger.

Here is an interesting article on the subject.
