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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterme38 275 Posted July 24, 2016 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? ☆Jeni☆ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

betterme38 275 Posted July 24, 2016 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 ☆Jeni☆ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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!!
