HUNGRY A LOT OF THE TIME?



Recommended Posts

Haven't seen too much posted regarding hunger. Looking for more input. I'm 10 days post-op and still feeling hungry. Getting in my Proteins and fluids without issues. Still on phase 3 hoping stage 4 will be more satisfying. Any and all advices welcome.

Are you on an acid reducer? What I always thought of as hunger pains has turned out to be acid....

A started taking them again a few days ago. I stopped once my stomachs felt better, but then learned it could be related. So I have been back on them for a few days now. Still no help. Not yet anyway.

I am almost 6 months out, 95lbs down and I still get hungry.

It's strange though its not the same as before surgery. I get hungry, then I eat and I get full very quickly, then in about an hour I'm really hungry again. It gets kind of annoying because I get so hungry I have to eat every hour. So I end up buying lots of food while I'm out and throwing it out because I can't finish it!!

I am constantly hungry too! I eat every 2 hours or so, drink as much liquids as my eyeballs can hold, get in plenty of Protein, and still have those tummy rumbles. What's the best acid reducer? Ive never taken one..Thanks!

Apparently stomach acids if not under control can Mimic hunger.

My doctor recommended Prevacid 24 hr. I take the Walmart generic version and it has been fine. Hope that helps.

I starve all the time, too! I eat every couple of hours. Looks like I might need to try an acid reducer. Who knew???

Protonix is the only acid reducer that works for me. Without it I feel like I am starving.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
