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.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
