Hunger.

I'm 70 days post op and starting a couple days ago I feel hunger pangs constantly. After eating I'll be satisfied for about a half hour and then the hunger hits. I read somewhere else that it's acid, I increased my dose of Omeprazole and took two today instead of one. Has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away? It's making it so hard for me not to eat constantly. I am trying but I feel like I am on a diet, like I did before surgery, which obviously doesn't work for me otherwise I wouldn't have needed the surgery.

I am right there with you. I am 8 weeks out and I am always hungry. The only time I am not hungry is right after I eat. I have heard others say to try an ant-acid in case it is the acid mimicking hunger pains but I have not tried it yet. I am down 45 pounds in 8 weeks. 60 pounds including the preop diet so I cannot complain too much.

Well done Walter! You are doing so good.
I’ve heard that it’s because you need antacid too so that’s interesting and worth a try I reckon [emoji16]

How do you deal with the hunger though? I feel like I'm going crazy.

I try to drink a lot of Water and I eat pretty much every two hours you just have to watch your caloric intake



Is there anyway you can give me an example of what your daily food looks like? Sorry to be a pain. I have been trying to get a hold of my doctor's office and they never get back to me. The dietcian won't be back until November 13th.

You don’t want to follow my diet, trust me.
I am sure there are others on here that can give you better advice.

      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.

      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.
