Strange thing is gas and stomach acid can give the sensation of real belly hunger. I addressed that and now I am just dealing with head hunger. Ask your doctor what otc acid reducer he recommends. I was already taking Prevacid so mine told me to stay on it for the short term because the stomach will continue to make acid but it is not getting solid food. That causes a false sense of hunger. For gas I am using gas ex that melt on your tongue.

You likely need a PPI. I ill admit after a few days of the liquid diet, it's not uncommon to want to chew, but if you are feeling what you think may be hunger pains, you likely need a PPI. My doctor started me on omeprazole/prilosec. Many others use Zantac, or Prevaid. A daily PPI will help with the acid that your tummy is producing that often feels like hunger pains.

What are your symtoms or signs of hunger? I'm asking bc I'm 4 days post op and I'm always hungry too but I realize it's only head hunger like I'm hungry all the time bc I want food bc I want to eat things that I used to eat or like I used to eat... But at the same time I can only fit 1oz of Water and I'm having full pains... If it's head hunger u have than that will take a while to subside bc you have to train ur body not to crave these things! Hope that all makes sense!

Maybe it's head hunger but I finished a broth and wanted to eat something else- So I drank Vitamin water

And still feel my stomach empty

Why am I always hungry? It's been 10 days and I'm always hungry!

I thought hunger goes away??! I'm worried this won't stop

Thanks mimie

Thanks for the feedback that's exactly my case now I move with my hand on the port area - can't sleep on that side either.

The Water : I was worried I had a leak because every sip goes down- and i wasn't sure how much I did drink the first few days but it seemed a lot- yesterday I measured everything coz I was finally home I had about 60oz

Thank you all very useful information will be looking up the other websites and following what I find.

I will also follow with a nutritionist.

My worry first is not to hurt or damage the operation with going fast and second not loosing enough cos I was too quick between the levels

Hi all

I Had overseas surgery and all he said was liquids for two weeks and then start with Sami solids, no time line or even other important things such as Vitamins? Disappointed at the promises but now done?

So need help with a proper diet to follow and Protein recommendations... Thanks y'all

@newlifefoemykids

Thanks that's so supportive-so it's normal. Thank god.

@@Cowgirl thanks for the response.

So yes it was the port area it's irritated and paining and feel there is a deep wound.

I had my revision from band to sleeve on 17 Dec night- the pain is in the band area of the pouch.

I'm day four almost and my pain is deep.

I also see some virginal bleeding with mocus- is that Normal?

I'm also worried about my Fluid intake I seem to be sipping normally little by little but it goes through?

Thank you all- this has been refreshing - now I can't weight to drop the pounds.

I had two c-sections before both were spinal only so I was awake during the surgery.

And I had the lap band and the way I was woken up I felt I was dead and brought back to live.

Tomorrow at 4pm is my scheduled appointment- I'm ready but worried!

What scares me is the anaesthetics, anyone had this fear ?

My surgery is on the 17th of December - I have a failed lap-band and going for gastric sleeve. Super worried that I will not loose weight ? Or worse not wake up from the surgery
