HUNGRY A LOT OF THE TIME?



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.
