Hunger

[Prissy 8]

Okay, I have a question... I am 9 days post op and ever since day 3, I've literally been starving all day long! I'll drink my Protein, think I'm full and five minutes later I'm hungry again. I cannot eat mushy food until Monday, but i've been throwing in yogurt and sugar free pudding sometimes to see if it helps. Is anyone else feeling this way? All I've heard thus far is how everyone cannot even think of eating. ;( It makes me worry. I am constantly drinking my protein (isopure) and drinking Water all day! ;-( I am even waking up in the middle of the night because I am so hungry. ;( I've never been someone who gets up at night to eat... I just thought I would never have the appetite. Please if anyone has suggestions, I would love to hear them!

You may have acid that masking as hunger. I know that does happen to a lot of people. I was one of the unfortunate souls who were hungry right after surgery and it never stopped. I feel hunger every day. I just focus on how it takes to fill me up.

I know just how you feel. I was sleeved on 8/10 and I'm not having any problems getting in all of my liquids and I'M SOOO HUNGRY!! The dr. put me on omeprazole that I have been taking and I didn't think that I had a problem with reflux but I guess its a precaution. It's not "head hunger" its full on hunger. This is just my first week and I have another week to go before my post op appt. I hope this subsides when I start mushies otherwise I am worried about my progress.

I wake up with a "hunger" feeling and I take an antacid and it totally disappears.
