Kapoorvilla 117 Posted December 24, 2012 After surgery gas and acid reflux can feel like hunger. Take gas x and an antacid see if it goes away. If not feel up on Protein. What stage are you in liquid, purée, soft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LadiWobs 13 Posted December 24, 2012 I'm on full liquids and I'm currently eating cream of chicken. The Protein Shakes don't sit to we'll I. The stomach. I drink one I the morning then I get the rest in my Soup with unflavored powder Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kapoorvilla 117 Posted December 24, 2012 That is a hard stage when Protein Shakes do not sit well. I have heard some say SFjell-o will fill you up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eclipse 67 Posted December 24, 2012 This doesn't help you now, but it gets better. I'm 7 weeks out today and for the first 5 I was ravenous. I still get hungry, but it isn't intense and it's only been the last week that it hasn't literally driven me crazy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShyV. 32 Posted December 24, 2012 I can totally relate. I am just 5 days post op and still on Clear Liquids till who knows when. I have my NUT appt on 1/8/13 and am hoping I can progress to Atleast full liquids. I'm Hispanic and we go all out with the food on Xmas and New Years. The smell in my house from all the cooking is driving me crazy. I'm really starting to have buyers remorse. Atleast think wth did I do this before the holidays. It's soooo hard!!!!

DianaE 128 Posted December 25, 2012 perhaps what you think is hunger could be dehydration and acid indigestion.. Find something to drink when you feel that pain. Try an acid reduction med too.. If it is true hunger, it will get better as time passes. try and eat low carb high Protein. eat slow and dont drink before or after. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LadiWobs 13 Posted December 25, 2012 I did bad today. I ate the Soup and a piece of meat. I was really hungry. Even tho it sent me directly to the bathroom but I had to eat something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mezanne1401 190 Posted December 25, 2012 They are absolutely correct with the acid/dehydration making people feel hungry. Has happened to me a lot. Dehydrated and starving. Better now. Every time I get indigestion (a lot) I feel hungry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
