Ok I have a weird one. I'm four days post-op and I swear my stomach is having hunger pains. It only happens to me once in the middle of the night and it feels just like a hunger pain used to but with out the rolling feeling (does that make sense?) I wake up feed my pouch some Protein shake and then it's like (he,she,it?) is happy and we are all good again?? What is this? Does this last? Anyone else have to feed the beast in the middle of the night or do I just have a diva pouch?

Yes. I had the same thing happen to me right after surgery. I was actually hungry for a while, until I got onto solid foods and it got better.

It'll get better once you hit solid foods. Hang in there! :)

I thought it had something to do with the gas pains, but I had it too! It got better on puréed foods

@@fallenfeatherstudio - I'm PO day 10 and I also have hunger pain. But mine are all day long :(

It's a real bummer. I'm looking forward to more substantial food (puree etc) because I really hope that will stop the hunger.

Personally, it doesn't matter right now if it's "head hunger" or "true hunger" ... they feel exactly the same to me.

I hope you overcome this soon, OP!

@@Lulu_RNY I'm having the exact opposite :/ I'm not hungry in the least! Today my two year old brought me three chocolate chip Cookies and any other time previous to this I would have eaten them all. Even if I wasn't hungry. It was weird. I held them and didn't even care. I wasn't concerned or wanting for them at all? I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not but hey I'll take it!

      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.
