Hunger dorsnt go away?



Recommended Posts

The same symptoms can happen from dehydration and from dumping.

I've definitely felt that way from dumping....i don't think I'm experiencing anything related to low blood sugar since surgery but now I'm pretty sure I was before...good thing I don't have to be concerned anymore!

I am a type 2 diabetic when mine starts to get low I feel a strangeness in my stomach like a wave I get jittery and faint like I also start to talk weird " family says" I can not concentrate or focus on anything. It's almost like a panic attack somewhat just very weird and then when I eat or drink something and it goes back to normal I feel wiped up the rest of the day.

It's not a good feeling and can be scary

Sorry old hippie....i sure hope this surgery helps you get past the diabetes....that was once of the main reasons i decided to have it..my brother now had type 2 and is having so many health problems..my dad died at 60 due to diabetes and heart....i fought long and hard thru cancer treatment and I was not about to survive that just to have try to live with with high bp and diabetes...being older (49) than many on here I see my weight coming off slower than most but that's ok as long as its coming off...

Your sugar may have been low. With our surgery we have to be prepared just like a diaper bag is for a baby when we go out. Bring a snack and a bottle of Water in our purses

Thank you!

Thanks for the comment, i am 56 so i know what you mean. I have had diabetes for 10 yrs one of the many reasons i had the surgery. I hope next month they take me off the metformin because spmetimes it makes my sugar to low.my biggest concern is just getting the Protein and Fluid in.

      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.
