I could eat a horse today!

I am 8 weeks post-op. Why are there days when I have to make myself eat because I am never hungry and then there are days when I feel like I am hungry the whole entire day?

Are you taking your acid reducer? If not, this will create a feeling of hunger.

Are you taking your acid reducer? If not, this will create a feeling of hunger.

My Dr. told me to quit taking it at my 6 weeks appointment. Why would I not feel this everyday if that was the cause. I have basically been eating the same things for the last 2 weeks. Yogurt, deli meat, string cheese, Protein for supper with veggie. Sometimes I eat a few bites and feel so full and then sometimes I could eat a horse and not feel full.

I don't know about anyone else but somedays when I am really hungry, it's because I'm stressed, I used to eat when I was stressed out. Now I take an extra serving of a dense protein(beef, chicken or turkey) with me to work. If I eat that I just can't eat anything else. What's funny is deli meat doesn't seem to have the same affect, don't know why. I get full quickly with regular roasted Proteins and then I realize I'm trying to eat my stress. Don't know if this would work for anyone else but it works for me.

I still take an acid reducer each day. If I don't I get stomach pains that feel very much like hunger. I know there are quite a few people who have the same problem. You are lucky if this doesn't bother you.

I had a hiatal hernia repair when I had gastric sleeve surgery and had horrible reflux before surgery. My dr. said going into surgery that repairing this would eliminate the need for the acid reducer medication. I am doing great with the reflux. My stomach has not growled today. I just felt the need to eat.

Well my eating binge must have done something because I had not lost a pound in 3 weeks and I weighed this morning and I had lost 3 pounds. Woo Hoo!

I'm still hungry a lot...and still struggling with Snacks. My NUT tells me NO snacking and only 6 oz of food, 4 times a day. I don't know how it's possible, but now when I snack I feel guilty
