Lots of hunger lately



Recommended Posts

Great tips... but consider that the pepcid ac might not be effective. Try proselec or nexium... sometimes different people respond to different drugs.

Another idea .. middle of the night foraging is an old bad habit of mine so when the urge hits and I can't sleep I have a Premier Protein drink. 30 grams of Protein and 5 carbs. It is thick and soothing and sweet so it satisfies that urfe.

The Protein Drink is a great idea. My nutritionist told me to not take my Vitamin at night. She has read that some Vitamins may keep you awake. Not sure if this is actually a fact, but my Nurse Practitioner daughter agreed with her. So I make sure I take my last vitamin (1 of 2 ) during the day by 3:00 PM. I do wake about 2:00/3:00 PM but I just roll over and go back to sleep. No hunger at night so I consider myself lucky for that.

Do you have seasonal allergies? I am now ~15 months post surgery. Last fall and again this fall I found myself with unexplained and insatiably hungry. I now recognize what I experienced as untreated allergies and it's post nasal drip that can seem like hunger. Once I treated my allergies (Claritin was all I needed) and the patience for my allergy season to pass and my hunger is back to normal and controllable. Good luck

Try veggies with hummus it has some Protein. I know some folks may say no to this one but I have Peanut Butter in the night if I wake up. It seems to help me a lot.

      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.
