Hunger Pains? Full Pains? Please Help....



Recommended Posts

I tried to post this yesterday but obviously i screwed it up....lol. I was just recently sleeved, 03/05/2013. My stomach area "hurts" from time to time. A lot of the foods, juices, Proteins, etc. seem to just "sit" on my stomach and are therefore not very appealing. I am curious if anyone can tell me what this "pain" is since i have no idea yet, what sensation means what. I think i may be hungry, maybe full, any ideas? Thanks in advance for ANY input! By the way, sugar free peppermint is worth its weight in gold!

My MD has me on protonix for the next 6 months ( my surgery was on 2/5) I was on liquids for 2 weeks after my surgery and will be on puréed till 3/19. Measure your foods ahead of time. I measure no more than 1/4 cup and am usually full before I finish. Stop when u finish the 1/4 cup and see if that satisfies you. I would communicate these symptoms to you surgeon. You want to do everything possible to prevent a leak. Everyone here will have great suggestions and tips but you must always be diligent in communicating with your surgeon and nutritionist. They know you best. Good luck to you.

You have done well to recognize that it could be something else. I am 12 days out and I had head hunger twice and I mean i start blending Soup there I go only to take sip of my soup and then no longer want it. Now I know that its reflux.

So I will continue my Prilosec for that. along with changing my own mind set. Important to talk to your Surgeon and Follow plan. Right now your

Small stomach is healing and swollen. It does get

easier each day.

Congrats

Yes, still on Clear Liquids. No other fixes while sleeving such as hernia, etc. Actually i am feeling MUCH better today. Don't ask me what happened, heck, yall will probably be able to tell me . Last night i had that "pain" feeling as i described. Sat in the bed and started sucking on sugar free peppermints (i am buying stock in that company). Went to sleep and when awoke this morning, pardon my bluntness, had ALOT of success in the restroom ☺☺. I have felt 100% better today than i have since surgery. If anyone can explain what happened, please let me know. Glad we are all grown in here, some of these chats can get kind personal, lol. Thanks to ALL who responded so quick the first time, HUGE help!

I also have no idea when I am hungry or full. I have to make myself eat my 2 ounces on schedule. Those few ounces could be making me full but I have no idea lol. I also find myself forcing Water and I love water. It doesn't hurt to drink I just don't want it. I love not feeling hungry!!!

      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.
