stellabug321 51 Posted January 6, 2013 That happens to me all the time and it's heartburn! It's crazy I never used to know the difference between heartburn and hunger! But it's heartburn for me, it's crazy uncomfortable! I'm using a pill called tecta it works well:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holly5.3 423 Posted January 6, 2013 I don't feel "hunger" the same, but my stomach gets loud and I'll burp! (so adorable! Please..I have 2 teen daughters, need I say more?!) when I'm hungry, empty actually, or full-I burp. It's my new alarm clock. Listen to your body, it may be talking to you too!

hinportland 83 Posted January 9, 2013 I'm 1 mo post op. For the past few days I've had intense hunger pain all day. Even after I've eaten, and feel full, I still have hunger pain. Sometimes its relieved a little if I burp, but comes back. I'm eating about 1000 cal a day. I'll admit I sometimes forget to take my acid reducer. I made sure to last night and today and guess what, no more hunger pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Doreykn 113 Posted January 9, 2013 If you have a hard time swallowing a capsule, open it & put it in a spoonful of applesauce. Worked for me, just open it slowly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hinportland 83 Posted January 9, 2013 I haven't been doing a great job of tracking, but I've been on many counting calorie diets so I think that's about right. My doctor and dietician said 1000 calories is great. They I could eat carbs, too. But I have stalled, though, so I'm cutting out the carbs. For dinner I had a green salad with 2 oz chicken.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slimshadee 26 Posted January 9, 2013 This happens to me as well. It's not heartburn, it is actual hunger. Not head hunger, but belly wanting hunger. It is totally TOM related for me. I won't even be thinking about food and the pangs start 15 minutes after I eat. What works for me is really high Protein during these times and I let myself graze a bit. 3 Paz of chicken breast over 90 minutes. It really helps me get through it. I probably had hormonal hunger before but just let myself stuff myself! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hinportland 83 Posted January 9, 2013 I have trouble getting enough Protein. I can hardly stand the shakes anymore, and before the surgery I was fine not having meat in my meal. That hasn't changed. And now my stomach doesn't like eggs or pork. But I know I need to work harder at it. Maybe add more Beans or something. It's a learning process. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still at 600-650 cals. a day. I would gain weight if I ate close to1,000 calories-one if the reasons diets didn't work for me, once calories increased -I was a cooked goose! At least your getting Fiber and vits. naturally-I'm also sick of shakes and chewable vits.! Have a beautiful day everyone! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
