I am a week out and I am still feeling hunger pains... According to everything I have read on here its either heartburn/too much stomach acid or head hunger... either way it sucks because I have been taking my acid reflux meds and its not helping and if its head I am in trouble!

sipping Water helps to fill your stomach and get rid of the hunger pangs.

Francisco if you are in the hospital , talk to a nurse let them know how you are feeling there are meds that can calm your stomach if not call your dr. Lots walking repeat , lots of walking! Please don't eat so soon if you do you can hurt yourself very badly. Gas mimics feelings of hunger, you can do this !! Good luck

Maybe you're just bored? I used to confuse boredom with hunger.

Congrats on making it through surgery and welcome to the Loser's Bench!

Yes, let your nurse know. Did you do a 2-week liquid pre-op diet?

Is it hunger? I never knew physical hunger since I ate all the time (before). It SURE can be mental hunger, and some have more and some less after surgery. In any case, dring Water and beat your evil brain into submission.

Reflux can really make me want to eat, to ease the burning, and it can often seem like hunger to me.

I woke up from surgery hungry. I'm a year out and I still get hungry and my stomach has growled from day one. I've lost 165 pounds In a year so it has had no negative affect on my weight loss. My head hunger is about 90% gone and that's what's made the difference. I get hungry so I eat a few bites and I'm full. Not a big deal. Lots of people on here say its not real hunger only acid well I'm sorry that is not always the case. Good luck!

Probably head hunger, it will go away. Fight the food DEMON!

I am post op day 3 and I think it's just gas trapped in there. Everytime I drink Water more gas comes up.

You CAN experience real hunger. I explained the stomach pain I was feeling to my doc's PA because I wanted permission to take my acid reducer un the evenings as well. It is only acid if you feel it by your heart and gas if you feel it in a larger area of your abdomen than just focused on your stomach. My pain is central to my stomach and is a tightness, dull achey feeling. No burning or "fire" feeling. She said it is hunger and some people do still experience it after aurgery. Surgery does cut the stomach part that produces ghrelin but some people experience hunger pains anyways as the stomach will make itself known if your body is requiring food.< /p>

Needless to say I did not get the ok to take an evening acid reducer, I got the ok to eat a small piece of cheese or 1 egg white or the like.

I'm not 100% sure but I would guess your grumbling because your stomach was cut. I had grumblings for days but it was just acid

Like a lot of us I had not had true hunger pains in years. I assummed that's what I had to. Turns out it was pain from the surgery, took my prescribed Roxinal liquid Percdone pain meds and the hunger pain went away. After a few days it stopped happening. 16 days out no hunger pains. For me it was just simple unusual pain from the surgery. I've had 2 knees replaced so I can recognize real pain, this stomach pain was not nearly as sharp or obvious. I'm sure that's why I confused it with hunger pains.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
