I'm only the clear liquids diet part and I have to say I'm having hunger pains. Is this normal or am I just thirsty??? I'm trynna stay strong but it's sooo hard when your tummy is rumbling and food is everywhere.

It happens. Some people feel hunger and some don't. I am one of those who did feel it. Just stay focused and sip sip sip. Hydration is so important right now.

I'm with you. I'm only 11 days out and I kept hearing from people how I wasn't supposed to be hungry, yet I had to keep telling my stomach that over and over again. Hang in there - for me it passed and I just got dairy products today. I was never so thrilled with a cup of yogurt in my life!

Im 3 days out as well, and Im hungry as well! the readymade protien drinks from costco are helping, but i cant imagine drinking only those for the next 2 weeks!

It could be gas try gasx

Your stomach needs time to heal from surgery....take in fluids (clear)....I am sipping Gatorade and it's been good so far! The smells of food are great but I know eating right now will do more harm than good....hang in there!

Are you taking a is reflex meds still? It could be that.

I completely understand! I'm 4 days post op & I'm having the worst hunger pains. I'm on the liquid diet & after being kept in the hospital for 1 extra day for nausea & not eating, I'm afraid to eat. I'm trying to keep hydrated but the hunger is so bad I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Hello....I post op day 5 and dr put me on clear fluids for a week post op then full fluid after....but was not feeling well at all just link constant gas pain or hunger? Believe it or not I made my husband homemade turkey stew and before all ingredients were added....I scooped some broth from turkey boil...had 3 tablespoons of it and let me say....it was 100% difference!

You didnt do anything wrong! My nurse in the hospital had the sleeve done a year ago and she said she was super nauseous for a few weeks post op. Hang in there! Try soups! Tomato , cream of chicken etc... they help with the hunger.

I had mine oct 21. I swear my body forgot food exists. My brother ordered chinese food last night it smelled good but no craving to eat it...so weird..commericals of food have no effect. its kinda scary. Ive been drinking water and broth. I can do a bottle of water in an hour...my doctor said thats alot and to slow down

My husband and I when thru the same thing and what we did was eat pop ice sugar free and it worked
