June 26, 201214 yr I had my surgery last Thurs and i am so hungry. I feel like i can eat anything, I haven't but is this normal?
June 26, 201214 yr I'm not sure if this is what you're going through, but I had a ton of "head hunger" for the first month...I wanted food (in my head) so much! In my case, it went away. I've also heard that if you're not on an acid reducer, it can feel like hunger.
June 26, 201214 yr I'm on Day Seven and I feel your pain! I went through that, too, and today my hunger was magically gone. I've got heartburn like crazy, so I suspect that Darla's point about an acid reducer is a good one. It's totally normal, though.
June 26, 201214 yr Author I did call the Dr and she did say head hungry. Dang this is no joke. Glad I'm not alone. I am on a acid reducer too. Feeling alot of rumbles in my belly today too.
June 26, 201214 yr i'm on sixth day went to dr. today,not hungry but i do have a funkin feelin i wont to eat, but i just drink more water and it goes away, i too have meds for gurd.also a little light headed and tired.
June 27, 201214 yr Hormones still in your body, so yes it is head hunger. Not that this statement makes you feel any better or your tummy less noisy. Taking a PPI (acid reducer) really helped me. Are you on one? Call your surgeon to see if you can get some. Might not "fix" you but it will help with some of the symptoms a little. Congrats on being sleeved, remember this is a learning journey.
June 29, 201214 yr I am 4 days out and starving! Dr said no milky drinks during first week or two, but I don't know how long I'll last!
June 29, 201214 yr I am 6 days out and feel like my stomach us full of chemicals. Called my Dr and she allowed me to start my 2ND week diet. I am struggling with my proteins the most. Does anyone have a good suggestion for protein powder to add to food. I am totally over the clear isopure.
