Starving, has anyone had this problem

[emeraldrose 3]

Ok had the gastric sleeve on Thursday, May 30, and it was not really that bad, I have had some soreness but no more than gallbladder surgery. Now I just stay hungry. If i go for a period of 35-40 minutes without something in my stomach I have horrible hunger pangs. I am drinking gluecerna with Unjury Protein in it, which should be enough protein at this point....but I am still so hungry. I feel hurngy, not just in my head, my stomach is rumbling, has anyone else had this problem.

Did you do a liquid diet before surgery?

[tigerbelle 328]

yes, I was truly hungry, especially when I was on the liquid diet post-op...it did get better when I moved to soft foods...some people say it's not really hunger but the excess acid causing stomach rumblings...are you on a PPI? when I started taking Prevacid my dr had prescribed, it did help--but didn't totally alleviate the hunger...again, it is much better now that I can eat some dense protein....hang in there

[emeraldrose 3]

yes, for 3 days before surgery and for 2 weeks before I did mostly Protein Shakes, with a small meal each day. I won't say I was perfect, but I lost some weight during the process.

I am not on an antiacid, but I thought that might have something to do with it, I will be calling my dr tomrrow, to see if I can start on Zantac.

I got sleeved last Tuesday 5/28. My doctor discharged me on full liquids. I get the occasional hunger pang but it goes away within 30 seconds on it's own.

Your body is still getting rid of the ghrelin that was in your tummy. This will cause hunger but it will go away in time. You've got this keep hydrating as much as possible and then drink some Protein Shakes for a little fullness.

I was sleeved on May 23rd and am never hungry. ..my belly rumbles but I do not mistake this for being hungry.

How long does it take for the body to get rid of the ghrelin?

Are you confusing stomach gargling for hunger?

I was sleeved a day before you. I do not feel hungry at all, although I have had the rumbling in my stomach which they told me was just gas. I really walked a lot after surgery and have even walked a few miles in the few days following surgery. Just stay hydrated and keep your chin up, it will all work out! Good luck!

It seems i am either starving or stuffed all the time, since about three mos out. It's annoying! I probably don't drink enough liquids though, and just today started back on prilosec to see if that helps. Good luck. SW 300/ CW 230. Surg 10/25/12
