Does anyone still feels hungry?

[sherytuta 2]

After my surgery I still feel hungry the feeling of hunger did not go away is that normal?

I never lost my hunger although it was less than it was before. Make sure you are taking any mediation for Acid Reflux and drinking Water as both of those can mimic hunger. I find I have days of feeling famished and days when I have to remind myself to eat.

Ok I will keep that in mind thanks a lot

I have head hunger but I have not really had any real hunger pangs.

You're not alone. I still get hungry but it's a normal, natural hunger feeling. Not ravenous like before.

My surgeon asked me if I still get hungry. I answered, "Yes" and he asked how soon I feel it. I told him when it is about time to eat (around 4 hours) and he said "Good. That's how it should be!" so I take it that it is normal to still get hungry when it is time to eat.

Yep, I still get hungry, and have since the surgery almost a year ago. Like the previous poster said, it's not a ravenous hunger (usually), but it is hunger that I did not expect based on what I had read and was told.

Yes, the stomach meds do help, and I have tried them all, but I experience real hunger.

However, I am really glad that I get hungry. It makes me want food, like normal people, and it helps me really enjoy food, like normal people, two things I was really worried about losing.

I don't ever feel "hungry". I have bubbles, that's about it.

My body knows when it's time to eat and will remind me if I forget. It's not like my hunger from before, it's different

I get little twinges now at 5 weeks out. But now they're like, "Eat a little something." Pre-op it was, "GO TO THE CHINESE BUFFET AND EAT EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!"

I definitely still get hungry. The only thing different from when I had a "normal" stomach is when I'm hungry I can't eat huge portions. I wish I didn't feel hunger.

Haha hilarious and so true! I would feel bad before because I'd eat a huge burrito at lunch and feel hunger hours later! Now I am really full after 4oz and remind myself I didn't eat much. I get hungry but its easily soothed with a little deli meat.

I have a lot of head hunger though:( it's torture.

I cannot feel hunger until it's been so long and then my only sign is feeling weak or faint.

The head hunger never left me though, I have the drive to eat, but I am doing everything I can to curb that
