Crippling hunger pains?



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I'm six days post op and have learned to notice my body's new signs of hunger. I've also learned that when I'm hungry, I have to eat soon or I will have hunger pains that don't allow me to think of anything else. It feels a lot like the gas pains, but it's accompanied by the growling and "rolling" of the stomach. Did anyone else have this?

I did and still do some times. I'm 9 days post-op. I have to make myself eat a little more Soups or liquids through out the day and drink plenty of Water too.

I don't wish this on anyone, but I am glad to know I'm not the only one!

I do know the second I get something in my stomach, the pains stop. It's so weird. I wonder if that'll ever go away?

That is why eating ever 2 hours about 3 oz at a time helps to get through this phase.

I had surgery on July 24th. It gets better. Before your first fill you'll be starving and eating almost like pre-band. I'm now at 4.7 cc in a 10cc band. Had lunch at 1:30 today and was fine all morning. Its a great feeling! Finished leftovers at 8 and no snacking in between.

Hang in there! It gets better.

I am eating every two hours! That's what's crazy. I will hang in there, like I have a choice, ha! Thanks for the feedback.

That tummy talk is pretty normal as its taking tummy awhile to realize that it doesn't need all that food you have been giving it! It will go away, eventually!!Drink your liquids and walk as much as possible. The "new" you is on her way!!

I had it really bad after surgery. I rumbling and rolling was VERY painful. The nurse at my doctor's office told me that they hear that a lot, but it passes. And it did. I thought it was from the plication, but apparently, band alone can cause it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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!
