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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
