Why the heck do I feel hungry?



Recommended Posts

from what I understand you still have hunger hormone in your system. and then there is always head hunger as we make the changes. it is kind of the worst part of the process, at least it was for me.

Hang in there, it will get better quickly.

I felt the same around 2 weeks post op (day 2 I was still rolled in a ball moaning and vomiting so you are doing well), but in the end it turned out it was just my new sleeve. Even now it grumbles all day long, very noisy.

The feeling of hunger post op for me is much higher in my abdomen compared to pre op.

At the time I read the posts saying it was acid and just the feeling/noises of the sleeve but was adamant that was not true for me, but it did turn out to be the case. True hunger for me did not return until the six month mark and it is still significantly less than pre op.

Good luck :)

I'm 14 days post op and I had the same hunger feelings. I started taking prilosec and it greatly helped most of it was stomach acid. Good luck!

      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.
