hollirrose 249 Posted December 3, 2012 I was hungry until I got to "real" food. liquids and mushy never made me feel full. Now my meal is 2 oz of Protein (chicken, hamburger, fish) and that is it. I stay full for 4 hours on to oz of dense protein. You may also ask your doctor about a ppi. Acid feels like hunger. Since taking a ppi I dont feel hunger most days. 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mezanne1401 190 Posted December 3, 2012 PPI is a proton pump inhibitor, i.e. Zantac, Pepcid. It reduces the stomach acid that gives you heartburn/indigestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hollirrose 249 Posted December 3, 2012 I would ask about the ppi. Many people take it post op. I never had any acid problems pre op and didnt feel like I had acid post op. I know I need it because if I forget to take my pill, I feel hungry. With it... I dont feel hungry at all unless it is head hunger. The further out I get it is easier to know when it is head hunger. When I truly need to eat it feels more like I am empty. Also, for me, full is not the same as it was pre op. I eat set portions of food only. I dont feel full like pre op... It is more like satisfied. Keep on doing what you are doing! 1 LHT reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
