Two days post op and im starving

Anyone else have the same feeling? When does it go away?

Hey there. Did they prescribe you an antacid medicine? That really helped for me. I don't think mine is hunger but rather stomach acid bc it can mimic hunger. Although I thought I read somewhere that the ghrelin hormone lingers for a bit even though you are not producing more...

I've read that can happen. Most folks have no hunger feeling, while others do. It's a mystery really.

I was curious because most of the people in my support group said they weren't hungry. Doing a lot better today tho ! Thanks guys!

Don't worry it should go away. I'm 9 days out and was really hungry the first five days or so then it subsided. I was worried! I think it's the stomach acid because now I don't feel hungry unless my tank is truly empty and then I fill up after just a few ounces. It'll pass!
