Hungry 2hours after eating...



Recommended Posts

The past few days, I will eat Breakfast and then about 2 hours later I am starving and my stomachs is growling. It's been 4 weeks since my surgery. I've tried Protein Drinks in between, but that's not working either. Anyone else had this problem?

Yes. It's kinda frustrating cuz it seems as if we still have to be obsessed with eating all the time. Every 2-3 hours, my stomach starts cramping and hurting until I either eat or drink.

I'm gonna be 4 weeks on monday and feel similar... not "starving" but I NEVER felt hungry before (after surgery obviously) today is the first day I've felt hungry. I just checked my log and I did add 100 calories to my intake, which is not bad, I felt like I had eaten more than that. I am on puree stage, I am not loving it, it is hard to find something tasty made "mush". I also started working out on tuesday, 40 min of cardio, so I am sure that has something to do with the increased hunger. I am not stressed, I just want to make sure I log everything to share with my doctor on my next appointment. What stage are you on? Are you working out?

Dehydration can mask as hunger. Are you getting all your liquids in?

I am.. I drink a lot of Water and drink at least one Protein Shake a day, sometimes 2, my doctor said one was enough.

I think it was a head thing. I eat a good bit of Protein, and drink a good bit of Water. But I have noticed that since I upped my water, I am not as hungry. Still staying on the 3 meals a day.

      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.
