      Although I'm sure you think your starving you probably aren't. Your most likely experiencing "Head Hunger" or your body is just wanting more fluids. Your tummy is still swollen from surgery, food at

      You need omiprezole. Something serious. My surgeon has us taking it for six months. If that doesn't work call your surgeon. Also all the cold stuff might be irritating your stomach.

    Try drinking some chicken broth. The warm Soup may help curb your hunger.

    I stepped on the scale today when I got home and I'm already down 8 lbs since Tuesday. Previously I took nexium but he didn't tell me to take any meds and I have to start my vitamins next week. The reflux is horrible. I feel like I need something thicker like a protein shake. I don't know if that's safe being I'm only 2 days out.... At this point in regretting doing the surgery my tummy is burning so bad. I know it will get better, but the process is killing me. Best part is I wasn't even a big food eater prior to the surgery. Everyone says head hunger but this is my stomach burning and growling....

    My doctor told me to take Prilosec/Omeprazole 20mg 2 x per day for at least 4 months. I promise if you take it, you will feel a whole lot better. I purchased 4 months worth in Mexico before coming home from surgery. I have never felt heart burn post op. I do feel "hunger" when I forget to take it.

    My best to you! Hope this helps.
