Are any new sleevers waking in the middle of the night needing to eat something??

It's been less than 3 weeks since you had surgery. Are you taking an acid reducer? Hunger pains in the middle of the night could still be healing of your stomach along with the acids in your stomach. The feeling is exactly like hunger pangs. Keep some Water at your bed and drink a few ounces when that happens.

For the first four or five weeks after surgery, when I went to bed my stomach growled and I felt like I was hungry, but it was the acid and the healing. It went away. Before I went to bed I usually had a few sips of skim milk and that would make feel full, then I would wake up with that feeling. My doctor and nutritionist explained to me it was acid & healing pains.

My nut said that hunger pains could b thirst....so drink first if it continues then try a high protein substance.....preferably protien shake. Wishing u the best!
