Shari McGuire 0 Posted April 16, 2015 Hi - I am 3 wks post op for my gastric sleeve surgery and having lots of phantom hunger pangs. Any ideas for how to work through them? I just want to eat, eat, eat to satisfy them and I know that's not the solution. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LumpySpacePrincess 594 Posted April 16, 2015 When I got those it was because I was dehydrated. Drink more Water and they should go away. If not, you may need to double your reflux/heartburn medication, which is also a common cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shari McGuire 0 Posted April 17, 2015 Thank you for your suggestion - I'm probably not getting enough Water. I don't have heartburn luckily so that wouldn't be it. Just need to acknowledge too that it is what it is. Looking forward to it going away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nora82 11 Posted April 20, 2015 Your body knows it needs something it just doesn't know what it needs. Most of the time it is Fluid that it needs. Try drinking and wait 30 minutes before you decide to eat anything. By then the hunger pain should be gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
