This is very strange. Had my op last night. Now 10am and my stomach is gnawing. Very confused by this. It isn't emotional hunger

Are you on an acid blocker? Acid can mimic hunger.

It's definitely not hunger. I have that gnawing also and its acid reflux. Ask your surgeons office about it. Mine put me on Prilosec for 14 days to help. Good luck!!

It's definitely not hunger. Like others have said, it may be thirst or acid. My surgeon prescribes a PPI for the first two months post-op. Another thing you will very likely experience in the coming days is head hunger. When you see commercials on TV, smell foods others are eating, or just have cravings for your comfort foods.

I don't think so but I can check. It may be lack of Water thanks

I felt like this for the first 7-10 days post op. My stomach constantly grumbling and I truly felt hungry anytime I wasn't drinking something. It even woke me up during the night it was so bad. Then magically around day 10 it just stopped. (I've been on a PPI since surgery). I don't even wake up hungry in the morning anymore.

I had that also and it will go away in time. Just take an acid blocker and ride it out. It seems like it will never end but i promise it will. I started feeling better with in the first month.

      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.
