And I'm starving!!!!! What can I eat that will control this.

Get your Protein in. I know it is EXTREMELY hard to get in all of the protein, especially in the beginning stages but it will curb that feeling and give you more energy.

I'm having trouble with all the Protein and even the meals.my surgery was on the 8th.

Just do your best these first days. You and your new stomach are on a new adventure. Try and get all or as much Protein in as you can. Anything above this a bonus at this point. Movement and a positive attitude will help you through this. Well wishes.

Make sure you are taking your ppi.

I was the same. Warm Decaf tea was easier to drink. Protein was hard. Once I was able to have food, that hunger was gone.

PPI. or Protein Shake. It will get better- I swear! 2 months out and my head hunger has gone away almost entirely. Just be strong! Or- try drinking some G2 or something different than what you have been drinking? maybe change things up?

My surgeon did not have us start Protein until the second week. Try frequent small amounts of your liquid diet.< /p>

No, proton pump inhibitor . Prevacid, etc. Acid can be misunderstood as hunger.

[ashelaine 382]

It's a proton pump inhibitor- think Prevacid, nexium, Prilosec.

Is it weird that I am 2 weeks out and don't feel hunger? I am eating and drinking out of habit and knowing that I need to but I never feel "hungry" like before surgery. I crave the taste of different foods but I know that's in my head. I thought maybe it was normal but I've now seen 2 posts in the past couple days of people claiming they are starving on the liquid diet.< /p>

I am 4 days post op and I have not felt hunger since Friday morning I know I probably soon will but as for now I am good!!!

[cygnusatratus 73]

I was close to a month before any real hunger was felt.
