Help! I am not even a week past surgery and today I started experiencing intense physical hunger. Nothing I am drinking is taking an edge off of it. I am so miserable. Please encourage me- I am just desperate.

For me i want to eat a lot of things but even if i bought them id only b able to take a few bites then id b full. You are dealing with head hunger possibly. If you tried eating youd prob be full after a couple bites lol

I don’t want to eat any particular thing at all- I am *physically* extremely hungry. My stomach feels completely empty, I have a headache and am losing energy.

Hang in there!! Once you move on to solid food you will be full after a couple teaspoons of food, and hunger will be a thing of the past! Just gotta get through this part!

I didn't think I needed the antacids (I have never had acid reflux before) but it DID make me feel less hungry, so if you don't have them, try it!

Thank you for the encouragement! I am doing better with Protein today and feeling better and more optimistic.

I saw that somewhere too. I take omeprazole already but Mylanta or something might help. Good idea.

Have you tried some kind strained of cream Soup? That really seemed to help keep me satisfied. Good luck!!

Yes! Soups have been helpful.

      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.
