I thought after surgery I wouldn’t have as strong of hunger pains. I think they are stronger now and more often. Anyone else notice this?

Are you sure they are hunger pains? More often than not it is too much acid in your stomach being mistaken for hunger. I have experienced zero hunger pains (growling stomach) but have experienced a ton of discomfort from excess acid. Try taking an acti-acid and seeing if it helps!

No, I just 5.5 weeks post-op and while hungry every 3 hours, it hasn't been "pain" or extreme hunger. I can only eat 2 oz at a time, just more frequently. But sometimes it's "head hunger" and not really "stomach hunger"

My hunger is nothing like pre surgery. It's more manageable for me post surgery. You may want to call your office to rule out a medical issue.

Are you on real food stage yet? How often are you eating meals?

Are you sure they are hunger pains or pains from not eating when you used to eat? I know there are times after I’ve eaten where my Tum says I’m hungry but my brain says these pains are not hunger related - try drinking Water and keeping up more fluids - if not working talk to your doctor / call the office and discuss your concerns :)

It may be reflux or head hunger, but some people swear it's regular hunger... Woman in my support group hammered the NUT until she accelerated her stage to soft foods and was finally not starving anymore...

Use ever tool you can to defeat it, while staying on plan. Warm liquids, can be more satisfying than cold and adding Protein Powder or shakes to tea/coffee/cocoa will go a long way...

And contact your team, as always, to clarify anything we can't help with ❤

      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.
