Post op hunger

[karritous 17]

I'm drinking the Protein Meal Replacements 8oz every hour almost, equalling 60 grams protein a day and 64 Fluid ounces. Sometimes sugar free Jello or chicken broth instead. Taking required Vitamins

Why am I constantly starving? You would think I'd be used to eating/drinking almost nothing after the 2 wk pre op diet. I'm at post op day 7

Hi! My surgery was June 18th and I feel like I am starving. I wake up with severe hunger pangs to where I am nauseous. I was told by the dietician to keep drinking Water. It doesn't help. I'm eating Protein at every meal but I am terribly hunger just two hours later. My Dr. says that my stomach is getting used to the changes and that it will get better. I'm still waiting.

Are you taking an acid reducer of some kind? I have read here that acid can mimic feelings of hunger. I personally take an acid reducer but I have never been hungry. I struggle to get what's required. Good Luck :-)

I still feel hunger too. Sooo annoying, so I have some kind of Protein, lately I have been chewing on Fiber pills, waiting 30 min then drink Water. I am 15 weeks out, hopefully it will get better.

I am a tad over 2 months post op and I just started getting the hungry feeling a week or 2 ago. It's typically only at night after I get out work but it's endless. I noticed drinking some different things helps a lot (I'm in love with iced sugar free chai. you can get it at any grocery store in the tea/coffee aisle) and also changing my Snacks and meals up to have less carbs and more fruit and veggies. cheese sticks help too. just beware of too much Fiber. it may make you feel full, but it has some other side effects you don't want to deal with. I couldn't do Protein Shakes. I still can't. just like pre op it makes you so hungry and for me, incredibly nauseated.
