why am i so hungry? immediately after i eat i am hungry. its un comfortable

could be acid reflux, try prilosec or zantac. from other posts this usually works well.

That happens to me all the time and it's heartburn! It's crazy I never used to know the difference between heartburn and hunger! But it's heartburn for me, it's crazy uncomfortable! I'm using a pill called tecta it works well:)

what? how can acid reflux or heartburn hurt in my belly? after my endoscope preop it showed that i didb have acid reflux my primary doctor perscribe prilosec and fish oil for high colesterol i havent been taking them bc of surgery. ill have to call my doctor an see if im able to

I don't feel "hunger" the same, but my stomach gets loud and I'll burp! (so adorable! Please..I have 2 teen daughters, need I say more?!) when I'm hungry, empty actually, or full-I burp. It's my new alarm clock. Listen to your body, it may be talking to you too!

so i took you guys advice an assume it was acid reflux or heartburn i call mymy on call doctor told him i think im haveing acid reflux and that i have prescribed prilosec but they were capsules and should i take them he said yes so i took them. it wa hard to swallow and then i felt terrible all day not just hunger pain but more discomfort. now this evening im very gassy an it feels a bit better. the gas pains are terrible i havent experienced this until now

wow, maybe you better go to the doctor.

I'm 1 mo post op. For the past few days I've had intense hunger pain all day. Even after I've eaten, and feel full, I still have hunger pain. Sometimes its relieved a little if I burp, but comes back. I'm eating about 1000 cal a day. I'll admit I sometimes forget to take my acid reducer. I made sure to last night and today and guess what, no more hunger pain.

You are one month post-op and eating 1000 calories? That seems like quite a bit; is that what your plan says?

If you have a hard time swallowing a capsule, open it & put it in a spoonful of applesauce. Worked for me, just open it slowly.

I haven't been doing a great job of tracking, but I've been on many counting calorie diets so I think that's about right. My doctor and dietician said 1000 calories is great. They I could eat carbs, too. But I have stalled, though, so I'm cutting out the carbs. For dinner I had a green salad with 2 oz chicken.

This happens to me as well. It's not heartburn, it is actual hunger. Not head hunger, but belly wanting hunger. It is totally TOM related for me. I won't even be thinking about food and the pangs start 15 minutes after I eat. What works for me is really high protein during these times and I let myself graze a bit. 3 Paz of chicken breast over 90 minutes. It really helps me get through it. I probably had hormonal hunger before but just let myself stuff myself!

I have trouble getting enough protein. I can hardly stand the shakes anymore, and before the surgery I was fine not having meat in my meal. That hasn't changed. And now my stomach doesn't like eggs or pork. But I know I need to work harder at it. Maybe add more beans or something. It's a learning process.

A green salad??? Really?? I'm so jealous! My stomach will not digest raw veggies yet at almost 3 months post-op! I'm still at 600-650 cals. a day. I would gain weight if I ate close to1,000 calories-one if the reasons diets didn't work for me, once calories increased -I was a cooked goose! At least your getting Fiber and vits. naturally-I'm also sick of shakes and chewable vits.! Have a beautiful day everyone!

Do u taste the horrible medicine With the apple sauce? Inside the capsule its like little seeds should they be crushed?

There's not much I have trouble eating. I'm pretty lucky. All in all this surgery has been a lot easier than I expected.
