Hunger pains or something else



Recommended Posts

Surgery 9/6/17.

All was well. This morning I woke to what feels like incredible hunger pains. I was sent home with nausea and pain pills but I am unclear what I'm feeling. I took the pain pills, sipped on 1/4 cup of milk but this pain is not going away. It's Sunday so I will need OTC meds. Ideas on what I'm feeling and how to stop it?

Acid!!

While our stomachs are healing acid mimics hunger pains.

If you aren't on an acid reducer get some over the counter omeprazole or better yet consult with your doctor and get a prescription. If you are on one ask about increasing it. I needed to double my Protonix prescription.

Really common post op.

Pretty disappointed. I made a call to doc's answering service at 11am. (It's Sunday) By 5pm I had taken 6-8 tumbs and an OTC zantac. I called again because now I'm freaked out in doing more harm. They found a different doctor to call me. That was a waste of time for us both. He didn't understand what the big deal was. I explained i just had gastric sleeve less than a week ago. He asked where my pain was. I told him in my abdomen. He said then it would not be acid reflux, or I would feel it in my chest. He told me if my doc wanted me on a medication he would have sent me home with one. (*&^$='= REALLY) I have now had another zantac and 2 more tums. The pain is starting to lessen but would still say a solid 5-6 pain level. I'm so scared I'm hurting my incision.

I would advise any pre survey folks to discuss this with your physician.

Acid in my belly feels like hunger and makes a hissing sound if I stand up straight. I'm almost 2 months out and I still have pretty bad acid production and take Omeprazole in the morning and one Pepcid in the evening. I have to remind myself it isn't hunger.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
