Are you taking a PPI?

[beauty and the beast 26]

No my dr felt that I should only take it when I need it.

Stomach acid can mimic hunger. If you are getting enough Water and Protein then your hunger may be due to stomach acid. Try taking the PPI and see if it helps.

Interesting. Thank you I'm going to try that!

Same here, but I'm still struggling to get my 64oz of Water. I feel like I can eat a horse.

Same here! I started a PPI on Tuesday. I get full but then I am hungry two hours later. I feel like I am thinking about food 24 x 7

No, not really. I've had canned chicken, canned roast beef (chew chew), hamburger ground like for lasagna n as long as it's juicy it's ok. I even had a Lil salad n it's fine. cheese is fine also, that's really all I've had lol just stuff to chew that's high in Protein besides the lettuce.

What about you, how are you doing?

Yeah I do scrambled with a bit of almond milk n cheese so there fluffier n a Lil wetter so to speak. Easier on the new tummy. I have them with salsa for a different taste lol.

Try a Lil bit of canned chicken or scrambled eggs if you think your tummy is ready for it. Mine only hurts if I eat to quick or gulp Water. If I eat slow n small drinks I'm fine but each our own. N if you don't wanna try that's fine too go at your own pace. I had to chew though n gum wasn't cutting it anymore

I hear ya. I haven't tried gum because I'm afraid of gas. But I do miss chewing. I chew on ice pops that helps a little..lol thanks for the advice!!
