Hey everyone. Idk if its all in my head but I have been sooo hungry and I'm 8 days post op. Is this normal? Did anyone else feel hungry after their surgery? I feel like there's something wrong with me. If anyone can let me know their experiences that would be great.

I just started getting hungry at one month post op. Wouldn't it be nice to not feel hungry? It is very freeing to concentrate on all that life has to offer besides food and when the next snack is! I have found that eating small meals every few hours helps A LOT!

Good luck... hunger sucks

Hugs

I'm still on my clear liquid diet tho n can't eat for 3 weeks. Is it normal to be hungry this early?

yes its normal because the liquid just goes right through. when you get to mushies you will feel full real fast.

I was hungry from just a few days post-op. I was on full liquids then, but still felt hungry. I'm 2 weeks out now and got advanced to purees yesterday and it has already made a huge difference.

Plus, make sure you are taking a PPI (Prilosec, Nexium, etc). It slowly helped my hunger go away, but getting to eat a full variety of foods again (albeit pureed) has made a huge difference, both in my actual hunger and my 'head' hunger. Just hang in there, it will get better.

Hi everyone!

I really feel hungry or empty most of the time, and even after eating. I've fed up with my weight lose progress. In week 9 I've lost 27 lbs.Decided to restrict my carb intake so seriously- 20 grams daily. I appreciate any advice.

I've just had mine done (5 days ago) and ive noticed that i dont feel hungry at all, unless i see or smell food.. Therefore i take that to mean, its only psychological hunger and not physical hunger.. I dunno whether ur surrounded by food alot, but that might be an issue? hope it helps
