Hunger pains?



Recommended Posts

I woke up super hungry today. I'm having actual hunger pain. I already ate so much today and the hunger pang is still here. I thought maybe its heart burn so I took 2 tums and omeprazole still feeling the pains. I dont want to overeat bit I feel so hungry? Anyone ever experience this? (I'm 2 yrs+ PO sleeve)

Hahaha! I could have written this yesterday! So I let myself eat healthy dense Protein. For some reason, I'm craving cottage cheese, too! I had 109g of protein yesterday! OMG! LOL.

But today, I'm not very hungry! So it comes and goes. When I'm truly hungry, I eat. But I won't let myself eat "crap" empty food during those times.

Go eat a hardboiled egg! Or meat of some kind! ((hugs)) Also, lots of sugar in your guacchang sauce usually...so you could be having a blood sugar roller coaster.

Is that like gochujang sauce? I love gochujang sauce! I love that sweet, hot and fermenty flavor. I put a bit of it on almost everything now.

Look at the sugar content. I guess you just have to decide how or if it affects your weightloss, satiety, or hunger level. IFIFYM’s!

Starting to think its heart burn the meds seemed to have kicked in and the "hunger pain" is pretty much gone. I looked through yesterday's menu and couldn't find anything that may have triggered this. Will have to put it a really hard work out at the gym soon to burn off the extra calories I ate today and will do a 16-8 fast the next couple of days. Thankfully I didn't overdo it too much, and ate foods that are "on my plan"

I get this terribly at times and have to take a prilosec. That seems to sort me out.

I'm terrible with meds I dont even take Vitamins (gasp) they make me puke I've tried many types and companies. Luckily last time I checked my blood all my levels were great. I guess I'll have to be more proactive and start back on anti acids.

      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.
