Hungry 2hours after eating...



Recommended Posts

The past few days, I will eat Breakfast and then about 2 hours later I am starving and my stomachs is growling. It's been 4 weeks since my surgery. I've tried Protein Drinks in between, but that's not working either. Anyone else had this problem?

Yes. It's kinda frustrating cuz it seems as if we still have to be obsessed with eating all the time. Every 2-3 hours, my stomach starts cramping and hurting until I either eat or drink.

I'm gonna be 4 weeks on monday and feel similar... not "starving" but I NEVER felt hungry before (after surgery obviously) today is the first day I've felt hungry. I just checked my log and I did add 100 calories to my intake, which is not bad, I felt like I had eaten more than that. I am on puree stage, I am not loving it, it is hard to find something tasty made "mush". I also started working out on tuesday, 40 min of cardio, so I am sure that has something to do with the increased hunger. I am not stressed, I just want to make sure I log everything to share with my doctor on my next appointment. What stage are you on? Are you working out?

Dehydration can mask as hunger. Are you getting all your liquids in?

I am.. I drink a lot of Water and drink at least one Protein Shake a day, sometimes 2, my doctor said one was enough.

I think it was a head thing. I eat a good bit of Protein, and drink a good bit of Water. But I have noticed that since I upped my water, I am not as hungry. Still staying on the 3 meals a day.

      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.

      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!!
