I am just a little over a month out and just today felt my first hunger pain. I was upset cause I hadn't felt one since before surgery. Will this mean I will be hungry all the time now or want to eat more? I hope not....

Some people never like we the hunger sensation altogether. There are ways to reduce it. Sometimes stomach acid mimics hunger so make sure its not that first (take your PPI) , next make sure its not thirst (often feels like hunger) last make sure you are not eating things that prompt a hunger sensation, high sugar, high carb and even high Vitamin B 12 ( found out from another member) Do a bit of research, check your routine and Speak with your team about ways to keep real hunger at bay.

Thank u:) I have had no sugar at all since before surgery and my carbs are very low as well. I go next week for routine bloodwork. Maybe my B12 count is high.

Also I had was very busy yesterday and didn't drink I should had. Maybe that was it?

Maybe but don't change anything until your team advises you to

take the prescribed PPI ( if you were given one), push hydration to the Max (remember it doesn't ave to be just Water ,just cal free sugar free and on your plan) and its really helpful to stick to a schedule to train your body and mind

      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.
