3 days post op and hungry.



Recommended Posts

Are you sure the rumbling is actual hunger and not gas or reflux? I'm over 2 weeks post-op and have not had a single moment where I've been hungry. I think you should discuss this with your surgeon.

i do get hungry, doc told me I was thirsty, and other people say it's reflux, or gas, but it is hunger. I am 18 days post op and it has subsided some, but not totally. I can eat what I feel is alot, compared to what some other people say, and it worries me, but I am still eating about an 1/8 of what I used to.. Just eat what they tell you too, and I do get full pretty quickly, that's the good part, if only the scale would move.

OMG my stomach has been rumbling so much and so loud, although I don't feel hungry. I keep eating the sugar free popcicles because I trying to reach my liquid goal.

I think the rumbling is from the gas or it my stomach's way of telling me it's pissed at me for what I've done to it.

I'm 3 days post op.

NOT HUNGRY AT ALL.

I'm afraid to eat,due to all the pain. I just got out of the hospital. My frist few days haven't been as easy as previously thought. This is a journey we are on. I thought I was ready I now realize I could've researched more. I read on this site about some of the feelings of remorse or uncertainty after surgery. I even read about dehydration, feed pumps. I thought nah....that won't be me. Not saying that it was or will become me. I just under stand the risk more clearly now. Gas,pain,water issues, nausea,swalling....oh my...

Jay sunshine...you feel that way now because of your discomfort level...those gas pain can be maddening... Keep moving ..stretch those arms overhead an burp n fart til you feel better. I was burping all the time in recovery and was far from modest about it. You must get that gas out. Do your deep breathing exercises to get in oxygen and get all those melds out of your lungs. Cough, cough, cough. I got out early because out of the three bariactric patients...I did the best..burp..and excuse me please..I'm trying to recover. :-)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
