sja 38 Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) I'm 7 days post op and it took me about 5 days to figure out the stabbing pain I was experiencing was "hunger!" I don't get any other feeling to indicate I need to eat, other than quick 3-5 seconds jolts of fairly intense pain. I'm on all liquid diet right now, and am taking protonix. Anyone else experience this? If so, does it go away eventually? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Edited March 1, 2016 by sja Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bevewhite 25 Posted March 1, 2016 I am 6 days out and I am trying to figure out the different sensations. I too get this " hot poker" pain for a few seconds. I am not sure if that is hunger or if it is when Fluid is passing a certain point. I am also trying to figure out then I am full. I do not have the normal feeling that I define as being full. I have a pressure sensations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sja 38 Posted March 1, 2016 I'm experiencing the same bevewhite. I accidentally got "full" the first day home after surgery. It was the most disgusting feeling, experience and taste I've ever endured so I'm very careful now. As soon as I start to feel the pressure I stop. I'm also measuring everything and am worried about the future when I don't have the ability to do so (like eating out or at someone else's house.)
