You should both be on an acid reducer if you're not taking one already. Acid can mimic hunger, especially this early post-op. Your tummy is still making acid for the massive stomach you had before. It will calm down once it realizes there's no need for all of that acid, but it takes awhile for it to get the message.

I drank a lot of broth during my liquids stage. It soothed my tummy, gave me a little Protein and went down better than almost anything else.

Good luck!! :)

The hunger didn't go away for me till about 6 weeks! Even now sometimes I still get hungry..I just eat the right thing when I am hungry!

I dont know why, but I have hard time eating... I can drink, but not eat. I want to drink Water all the time, but only 2 sips every 15-30 min. I have pain in my legs, and I am taking my potassium every day, so it's not from it.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
