Feeling hungry



Recommended Posts

I had gastric sleeve on 8/20/19. Every now and then i feel like im hungry. Or at least my brain is telling me i am. Has anyone else felt that way? Sorry i am new here. Thank you.

I had my surgery on 8/28/19. My second week I believe I was feeling hungry for a couple of days. My two daughters had surgery last year and they said I was having head hunger. Whatever.

There was one day I was ravenously hungry, like could've eaten all day. I didn't over eat and stuck to what I was allowed but that one day was tough. It's been much better recently, in fact there have been a couple days I have forgotten to eat because I'm not hungry.

It's totally head hunger. We all get it.

Are you still on omeprazole? the heartburn can mimic hunger but there is no way you are actually hungry. I had a kidney stone 3 weeks out and was having the worst stomach pains of my life.

Also, when in doubt, drink a glass of Water as quickly as you can for your particular stage of healing! :) Then wait 20 minutes. Often thirst masquerades itself as hunger.

So hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

And even now, I have hungry, hungry, heifer days. They are tough to get through, but I make sure my carbs are low, Protein adequate and that I'm staying in my caloric goal for the day and I drink lots of water, and exercise (walk) and deep breathe when those times come. It helps.

Welcome!
