I'm having hunger pains.. my body FEELS hungry but when I try to eat its like I'm full before even touches my tongue.. this is so weird.. anybody have this problem?

I'm preop but I have heard some people say it is head hunger. If your tummy is rumbling, I think I've read too that is also something else and not a hungry tummy. I'm sure someone with experience will post soon.

Lol this is Definitely not head hunger.. I'm feeling the hunger ache

From what I have read that sounds like you need an antacid. That seems to be the common concensus. I havent ever taken one yet but I never has acid issues either. Maybe try one and see what happens.

Btw once I thought that I was having hunger pains but it was gas

I read on another page it might be stomach acid. Are you taking an antacid. Some doctors have you take them for three months after surgery.

I am 2 months out and still have that problem. In fact, I asked my nutritionist about it today. I'm going to start logging when I feel like that, how long after I ate, what I ate, and if I exercised that day. She says I shouldn't feel the hunger but I definitely do. I never forget to eat because if go too long my stomach lets me know.

Yep sounds like you need a PPI to me too...can you discuss with you doctor?

Ill definitely discuss it with my doc but i must say it definitely did go away when i had some soup lol..

I'm one week post op, Im taking pepcid twice a day. But yet I can feel and hear my stomach growling. It is for sure hunger. I am hungry!!

I have the same problem, I try to eat soup,or yogurt and I can only eat 3oz, then Im stuffed.

I just keep eating my teeny portions of boring stuff, whenever I feel the growl. I can't have mushies until next Tuesday! 

Maybe I need to switch my tummy meds!!

I see Doctor tomorrow, I'm gonna mention it.

I'm 8 mos out of surgery and I experienced the same thing. It's your body adjusting. U are hungry and it's normal. The sounds ur belly are making are normal also. It will pass. Keep hydrated and eating ur current diet as directed. Good luck.

Hey belle.. what are you eating now 8 months out??

Anything. Although I do have issues with very tough cuts of meat. If it's moist and tender I can tolerate it. Also bulky bready type things... Example: I can do a sandwhich with wheat bread but if it's a big thick piece of bread you can forget it. It's because it's dense. Too much volume. Other than those 2 I can pretty much tolerate anything.

Ok just reminding myself that better days are coming when I can eat again

Yes. They are. Stay positive and strong. U can do it.

I'm almost 2 weeks out....I have 3 more days before soft foods. I am hungry even after eating soup!!!
