headache,heartburn and hunger



Recommended Posts

These things are bothering me.

1. Headaches are bad and twice threwup tylenol

2. Ive been on Nexium for 11 yrs amd never got it while on it. I dont wanna have it while on it.

3. Never felt pronounced hunger pains pre surgery. I heard many times that you will not feel hungry after surgery. Not true I feel hungry a lot. What's up?

I didn't get hungry before surgery but now I do, guess it's because I can't seem to put anything solid down. 2nd week out and can still only do liquids.< /p>

I don't know. I feel hungry a lot too. I've been wondering about it. I'm pondering if maybe it's just the gasses and bubbles rumbling through me although... I find myself thinking a lot about food and when I will get to have yogurts and Tomato Soup. All the commercials on tv drive me crazy. I've also been wondering if it isn't just that our bodies are basically starving right after the surgery and demanding nutrition because even though I am hungry my stomach tells me quickly that it's not an option. Yay for being hungry AND sorta nauseous at the same time. Not sure if this is what you are experiencing too.

Early on I felt hungry but now the feeling has lessened and maybe it was more of a head hunger at first. I definitely feel and hear more gurgling than pre-op and it could be mistaken for hunger. The Protein Shakes fill me up though...I use the GNC amplified wheybolic extreme 60 with skim milk...and be sure to avoid fluids about 30 minutes before and after a meal or else you will get hungry faster. I had the headache during the pre-op diet phase which is normal when you are consuming less carbs and your body is using fat as its energy source. I don't know when you had your surgery but I think it is getting easier in many ways.

I get hungry during PMS, it is so hard...

Hope you feel better soon and those headaches go away for good.

Headache and hunger are both symtoms of dehydration. Maybe try upping your Water intake.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
