Has anyone else woken up starving? I'm 10 weeks out and this has happened to me twice. The last time I called the dr.said I wasn't eating enough. So odd because this is the only tme I've experienced hunger!

Try drinking a glass of water when you wake up at night. Sometimes we interpret thirst as hunger.

Yes this sounds right!

This used to happen to me as well, especially after working a 12hr night shift. I found if I eat protein (usually a protein shake) an hour or 2 before bed then I don't wake up starving 6-8hrs later. I know that it's controversial to eat within 2hrs of sleep but I found that my body needed the protein to sustain me. Hope this helps.

Same thing happens to me, I find if I eat a small Protien snack before bed, it doesn't happen, and I keep a water bottle next to the bed if I wake up- seems to work.

As an alternate though....you might want to make sure what you're experiencing isn't acid reflux. Even if you're on one medication for acid, you may find yourself having "breakthrough" reflux. I came home from the hospital on liquid Zantac, and started having breakthrough reflux around 3 weeks post-op. My surgeon added a daily Prevacid solutab, and problem solved!! Many people experience acid reflux after surgery, and the sensation is very like that of "hunger". Best of luck to you!!

I'm pretty sure it was actual hunger! My husband was supposed to pick me up a small Greek frozen yogurt, which I ate, and this morning I told him it tasted funny. He said, they didn't have Greek, it was eurotart! So I thought I was getting 7 grams of protein & soy nuts but I ended up eating soy nuts with empty calories!
