Do you have a fill dr. nearby? You probably need some Fluid taken out, also try an acid reducer for reflux, don't eat anything before going to bed, and try to ingest only fluids for next two days and see if that helps. I'm not a doctor, just going by what I've been through.

I have this same problem occasionally. I switch to only Protein shakes for a couple of days (no real food) and it calms down on its own.

Hi Totallytater,

Thank you ! You would laugh at me if you saw me I have now got a cupoard full of the stuff I bought from the shops and hour ago :) I am hoping to do it for a week and now with a great supply of antacid tabs... The antacids are working well.... :tt1:

Thank you for your kind responce... xxx

      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.
