Hi,

I am 3 months post operation, and yet I am still feeling very hungry.. Most people I know that had op or people I

met online with op say they don't feel as much hungry after operation.

Please help.

Thank you!

I am 6 1/2 weeks post op and have been hungry since day 2, and having cravings. I totally expected not to be hungry and certainly not have cravings but they are real.. some people say it is acid or I am thirsty, but I do not think so. So i guess there are some of us who are hungry and some of us who are not. Good luck, just try to eat right, I do not eat anything off the list I have from my surgeon and right now I stick between 700-800 calories and always Protein first.

Are you taking a PPI of any kind like omeprazole or prilosec? Sometime people have acid and the feelings can often imitate hunger pains. Other times people experience phantom or head hunger. If none of this applies to you, try to make sure the small amounts of food you are eating are filling. At 3 mths I would assume you can eat whatever you can tolerate. What is a typical food day for you?

Lawd I thought something was wrong with me I stay hungry. I still can't hold much but I can eat and in a hour or two I'm feeling like eating again. I'm scared I'm going to start gaining weight back. I haven't lost nor gained anything in over a month now. I thought with the surgery you will be less hungry. I think im hungrier now.

I am nine months post op and I get the hungry feeling every 3-4 hours usually. My surgeon said that it is normal for many to have that feeling and that I just need to eat little meals that often. My mom is 11 years post op and never got the hungry feeling.

Early on I had to do 3 small meals and 2 Snacks. Perfectly normal. I couldn't eat a whole lot at one time.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
