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.

      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.
