All of the sudden im starving



Recommended Posts

Im 7 weeks post op and the last couple of days i feel like im so hungry. I get all of my Protein in (3 meals and a shake sometimes a string cheese or cucmbers in between ) and also i drink 70oz+ of fluids. I feel the more i drink the hungrier i feel. Literally my stomach is growling constantly and my stomch feels so empty even with fluids. I try to keep my mind off of it keeping busy with my toddler and working full time but litterally i feel like im starving myself even if i ate 1.5hrs ago. Anyone in the same boat?🤔

I deal a lot with head hunger. Lets face it I have had 40+ years of bad habits due to overeating, and I cannot wish it away, I have had to face my demons and know I am eating what is adequate to lose weight and stay healthy, so I just yell at myself ' I can wait till my meal time.' I keep mints on hand If I must put something in my mouth. So much of this is a culmination of bad habits, and surgery is a life saving procedure, but we still have to do the real work that we ignored most of our lives. You can do this!!!! you have shown you are willing to sacrifice to be healthy so keep your head up and your mouth shut. lol, just kidding.

I had my surgery a week ago today. And when I tell you I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I mean stomach growling and just hungry. I hope tomorrow my doctor tells me I can switch to soft foods tomorrow. I'm so hungry.

You shouldn't be this early. Does your doctor have you on an acid-reducer? That growling is most likely acid.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
