kaylekat 13 Posted February 1, 2015 I'm 4 days post op and feeling hungry. Before I was discharged my Dr. advanced me to a full liquid diet because I was handling clear fluids well. I've had a light yogurt, cream of wheat, and a Protein Shake today and I still feel hungry. (Keeping up with my Water intake as well) Has anybody else gone through this and how did you work past it?

lucy0911 58 Posted February 1, 2015 I just had this same problem. turns out it's stomach acid. Taking your PPI every day helps significantly. My hunger has finally settled down. I am almost two weeks post op now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaylekat 13 Posted February 1, 2015 My Dr. didn't prescribe me any. Hmmm...I should definitely contact him to make sure I really don't need it. Thanks for the advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike4132 256 Posted February 1, 2015 Experienced the same here. It was heartburn and a PPI took care of it. It definitely felt just like hunger though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
