[healthyholly 2]

hello all! im new here and decided to reach out for support.

i had surgery 11/15/16.....surgery was great, didnt have any complications nor pain. i am finding that i am super hungry! ive always been somewhat hungry but now its out of control hunger. with pangs and all. ive read a lot about head hunger...but i DO NOT think its that. i physically feel hungry...my stomach hurts. was wondering if anyone has gone thru this? where they are sure it isnt head hunger? ive been drinking Water and doing most everything im supposed to BUT i am constantly hungry PLEASE HELP!

Are you on a PPI? Acid can feel like hunger pain.

My surgery was one week before yours and I too feel the same day some days.

The struggle is real!

I went through a week or so of feeling like this but it has passed recently. Maybe try young your (solid) Proteins? I wonder if it also might be something to do with the healing process - sort of like when your skin itches when it's healing. No idea if that's true tho!

My doctor said to call immediately if that happened. That is a symptom of too much acid and or an ulcer. Not to be alarmist, but call. You don't want to end up with ulcers.

I have had several folks in my support group with this and it was acid. please call your dr as you do not need to suffer and sure don't want to get ulcers.
