Ok so im one week post op, eating good, and drinking my required fluids. But im still hungry ALL the time. I eat my meal and within an hour I wanna eat again. Is this normal to still feel hungry?? I thought it would go away, but the feeling is still there to eat.

Hello,

I believe this is consider head hunger. Are you drinking Protein shakes and Water? These liquids will keep your stomach pretty full.

No, I got sick from protein shakes, dr. told me what to eat to keep protein counts up where I need them.

What did he tell you to eat?? I can't do the protein shakes either!

Are you waiting 30 minutes to eat and drink?

Yes, I wait 30 minutes before and after, I have to eat, shaved deli meat, cream cheese, string cheese, greek yogurt, fish, any seafood, and eggs. Have an app that I enter all my food intake and usually make it to at least 60grams protein in food daily.

I've read several times that your body often confuses thirst for hunger so maybe try drinking? I have also tea other posters say that they have to go up to 80 protein daily to feel good...

Your doctor approved you eating all that after just one week? I can't have that stuff until week 4. I'm still on Clear Liquids and my DOS was 7/18/12.

I still get the vomiting and I'm almost 2 months. I had grill shrimp salad & it came out.

I'm shock you can eat at one week. I was vomiting almost 1 month before I could eat normal. Sometimes I don't eat at all I forget because it's very weird/strange the day I feel hungry.

You might find some ideas in my post "Managing Hunger" -

A week out you won't be able to apply all of this but you'll be eating before you know it!!
