I am four weeks PO today, and for the past week I am constantly hungry. I know most people say they are never hungry so I am confused. Anyone else?

I'm only a week post-op and I'm almost always hungry. :(

Could be excess stomach acid that "feels" like hunger.

Are you taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI), such as omeprazole (Prilosec)? If not, perhaps talk to your surgeon about trying that first to see if it helps. Then if it doesn't resolve, investigate further.

Some days my appetite is pretty high and some day I have very little appetite. I do agree that some times hunger could be excess acid and A PPI does help.

Good luck

A second vote to check into a PPI. You won't necessarily feel the burning you'd associate with reflux or heartburn. The first sign is that rumbly, unsatisfied tummy.

I'd give it a shot. It's also not uncommon for people to feel "hungry" until they're on solid foods. I never felt real hunger but by the end of my month on liquids I was desperate to chew food.

I am 7 weeks out and every meal is different for me. Sometimes I can't eat hardly much at all then other times I feel like I can eat quite a bit.

Tinahall: I am 8 weeks out and I notice the same thing. I sit down to eat a delicious meal, and boom -- 4 bites and I am done! I bring a lot of food home. It's such a surprise sometimes. Oh well, wouldn't trade my old life for my new one.

      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.

      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.
