Feeling hungry but not hungry

[Quetta89 49]

Hey guys I am 3 days post op I believe I have passed all the gas they put in my body but I am having hunger pains. I'm following my diet as the paper said by the hour but the hunger pain is still there. It seems to get worse when I take my liquid medicine.Any advice for me.

What is your liquid medicine for? What is it?

In the very early stages of post op there may be too much stomach acid that can make you feel like you are hungry...are you on medication to reduce stomach acid? If not, chat to your doctor.

It could also be thirst/dehydration this also masks as hunger. How are you going with Fluid intake?

If its not too much stomach acid or dehydation, check your liquid medication with your doctor.

I am on the medicine for stomach acid and liquid Tylenol. I may not be on track with the stomach acid medicine every 6 hours like I should. I need to work on staying on track.

I had the same feeling of hunger a few days post op on Clear Liquids. I later figured out it was small bits of swallowed air and my stomach trying to deal with the fluids (especially broths or medicine). The warm broth REALLY helped. Within a couple days, the hunger feeling was gone.

@Quetta89 I was thinking about you since I know you just recently had your surgery. How are you feeling besides the hunger feeling? Any pain?

Agreed w/ mcipanda. Air feels very similar to hunger. Just keep sipping water!

Hey Netty thanks for thinking about me I'm doing well. I just got my staples taken out today, I am in no pain. I am doing good on my liquid diet even though my wife eats in front of me but she doesn't do it to be funny she actually needs to gain weight lol.but everything is fine. I appreciate you checking on me.
