Are you taking PPI like Prilosec? If not' date=' that will help. Likely acid and not hunger.

I was d/c from hospital on 20mg Prilosec twice a day. So one in AM and one in PM. I stopped the PM one at two months. I still take the AM one. It really works. That's not hunger. It's acid but it feels like hunger! Hope it works for you!!!

I'm still working on that. I try to drink at least 1 Protein Shake a day. I also try to drink as much Water as I can get in. I think the water drinking has really helped with the head hunger. When I drink a lot of water I'm not as hungry or should I say I don't think about food as much. :)

I asked my surgeon today about taking 2 PPI to deal with hunger today. He said taking more PPI does not help with hunger at all. This Saturday I have a monthly support group where I am going to ask the NUT about my daily calorie intake. At 4 on this I am still basically consuming 600-900 calories a day, still mostly Protein and low carb/fat. I am not starving or even that hungry, but I do notice wanting some food every 2.5 hours and need to pep talk to myself to hold out another 30 minutes to hit the 3 hour schedule. It has been ok so far, no grazing yet.

      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!
