Deyhytrated and hunger at night.



Recommended Posts

Many people take one or two daily for acid reflux.

Oh ok yea I don't have acid reflux. I'm just hungry and can eat all day and a lot.

You need protonix or omeprezole daily. It's an acid reducer that will diminish the hunger.

Is that safe to take?

Yes. Many sleevers mistake acid for hunger. Your doctor should be able to prescribe protonix but you can get omeprezole over the counter. It will make a world of difference. I've been through this with both my sister and my best friend. Totally cut those hunger pangs and lessened the grumblings from their tummies.

Also talk to MD as this could be diabetes, excessive thirst and night peeing is often associated with this disease. Most of time it is a more simple explanation, not quite so dramatic as diabetes. But u must notify md so u can get a proper work up

I agree. You need to see your General Practitioner and be checked over for a few things that could be causing this, until you have been checked over it might be best not to start any other drug such as a ppi which could confuse the whole issue. When you see your doc you could discuss an appropriate ppi .

What's a ppi?

A ppi is an acid reducer, as I was referring to. And I agree, you should definitely see your doctor to try and rule out diabetes. I'd call and make an appointment today.

      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.
