thewinds 7 Posted May 13, 2012 I had a strange day yesterday... I took three different acid reducers cause I was having bad heartburn and doc told me a combo to try and bang it worked no heartburn but what replaced it was hunger(also the upset stomach feeling left) I ate a god awful amount yesterday slowly and over hours but I was allways hungry I don't get how I am four weeks out Monday and so far little if any problems eating just till now not hungry Breakfast -1 egg 1/4 cup cheese omelet shake 11oz 40g lunch baked tilapia 2 ounces 1 ounce potatoes Shake 11oz 40g dinner 2 chicken tenders baked and 3 carrots snack five flat bread crackers with laughing cow cheese Is that to much I never felt pain or discomfort everything was nibbled on slowly.

Pennie 66 Posted May 13, 2012 I bet the hunger is tied to your acid. If you can get that acid under control, I'd be willing to bet that you'll feel less hunger. Does the doc have your on a PPI? That's what I take and it works really well for me. I hope you can find the right medication, because it can be like a night-and-day difference. I don't think your food intake looks super excessive. Typical for someone on full regular foods - maybe at the high end of things for 4 weeks out, but still within the range of normal consumption I think. Since you are only 4 weeks out, it is possible (but not super likely) that you can still have some numbness from the surgery and not really be able to feel how full you are. Good luck! I hope you find a good solution to your acid! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted May 13, 2012 You aren't listing your Water in there, but I hope you were drinking water in between your food. Your food doesn't actually look too bad. I have days where I'm "hungry" even now. I just try to make sure that whatever I eat is Protein heavy and it looks like you're doing well with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thewinds 7 Posted May 13, 2012 I am 4 weeks on Monday I got all my liquids in and even had another 35g shake before bed just to get max Protein in. I go by as much protein as I can so when I can't I might have a buffer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Before that the heart burn was so bad I couldn't eat and felt nausea all the time day one heart burn free and I was hungry. In fact I find my self physical hungry every two hours but not head hungry it feels like a chore to eat even things I liked before don't taste as good.
