Haven't seen too much posted regarding hunger. Looking for more input. I'm 10 days post-op and still feeling hungry. Getting in my proteins and fluids without issues. Still on phase 3 hoping stage 4 will be more satisfying. Any and all advices welcome.

Are you on an acid reducer? What I always thought of as hunger pains has turned out to be acid....

A started taking them again a few days ago. I stopped once my stomachs felt better, but then learned it could be related. So I have been back on them for a few days now. Still no help. Not yet anyway.

I have always been hungry. But I get full so fast. But that hunger sensation never left. On the plus side I am 5 months post op, down 80lba and only 34 to gial

I am almost 6 months out, 95lbs down and I still get hungry.

It's strange though its not the same as before surgery. I get hungry, then I eat and I get full very quickly, then in about an hour I'm really hungry again. It gets kind of annoying because I get so hungry I have to eat every hour. So I end up buying lots of food while I'm out and throwing it out because I can't finish it!!

I am constantly hungry too! I eat every 2 hours or so, drink as much liquids as my eyeballs can hold, get in plenty of protein, and still have those tummy rumbles. What's the best acid reducer? Ive never taken one..Thanks!

Apparently stomach acids if not under control can Mimic hunger.

My doctor recommended Prevacid 24 hr. I take the Walmart generic version and it has been fine. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sheddie! I'll try it!

I starve all the time, too! I eat every couple of hours. Looks like I might need to try an acid reducer. Who knew???

Protonix is the only acid reducer that works for me. Without it I feel like I am starving.

Thanks everyone. Really do appreciate the input.
