This could be caused by acid in your stomach. Acid mimicks hunger in our stomachs. This is probably a good time to contact your surgeon and ask about taking a PPI (prilosec, omeprazole, tagamet, nexium). I was having this trouble in the beginning and I started reading all the posts about taking a PPI and so I started taking omeprazole. It did wonders for me. My hunger subsided too. Best of luck and hopes this helps. :)

tums sugar free are really good for that - also be sure to work out whether or not it is head hunger...are you getting back into old routines, old "triggers"

read The Power of Habit by Dughill...if at all possible to follow any advice I give here, read this book, read it again, and then go through and make notes...it is an invaluable aid, a life tool, in my opinon.

Oh it is def not head hunger, It is HUNGER. I thought it was in my head but no, it's in my belly. I hope it's acid, I will find out soon. I do need to start exercising. Im going to start today :-|

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
