Yep, this is the part that really sucks! There is a period where some of us were really hungry due to ghrelin still in our systems.....It will past, you will do just fine, drink some more Soup if you need to or better yet, some Protein Shake will help.....You may have acid in your stomach so it might be advisable to take a PPI (nexium, omeprazole, prilosec, tums, etc.) with your surgeons approval of course. :)

So I had surgery on Tuesday, March 12th, and this is post-op day #4. I am hungry too. Like my stomach feels empty. I didn't have any feeling to eat the first few days. Yesterday I started feeling hungry and it has been really bad today. Anyone know why??

I have felt gross ever since I got home on the 11th. I can't tell if I am starving or I have had too much.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
