Anybody 4-5 days out feeling hungry?



Recommended Posts

I was hungry 4 days out. I was worried that my surgery didn't remove the hunger hormone that I was told it would. I am now 12 days post op. I still do get hungry but less now, and I am managing it with protien shakes, Soups and yogurt.

It is hard to say whether the 4 and 5 day post op hunger is true hunger or head hunger. I was really getting mentally down about missing my past go-to comfot foods. I am slowly learning to manage that part.

Yeah tried both chocolate PB2 and regular. I use premier Protein and didnt care for the taste. I am not a fan of the taste, but it has gotten a lot better than when I first started drinking them. Have to stick with the chocolate flavor. Tried caramel, banana, strawberries and cream and vanilla. Dont like any except the chocolate.

You should follow your surgeon's guidelines. My surgeon allowed Protein Shakes and creamy Soups with no lumps at that stage. I found the most satisfying to be cream of chicken (had to remove the chicken pieces).

WHAT IS ON YOUR SURGEONS PLAN IS WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO EAT.

Is that a serious enough response for you?

What the f*ck is wrong with people today anyway? Why does everyone think their surgeons post op instructions are just a suggestion and not to prevent physical harm to their cut up stomach???

Don't worry. It's been perfect since surgery.

I think what most people think is "hunger" post surgery isn't actually hunger. The stomach rumbles a lot after surgery, which is a combination of gas, acid and the stomach just adjusting to the new size, healing, etc... Most experienced patients say that passes. And the ache would be some combination of recovering from the surgery, and the acid buildup. But you've lost the portion of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone, so you shouldn't have traditional hunger. Never discount the "head hunger" in the weeks following surgery, either. It's a real thing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
