Hunger

I am 3 days post op (RNY) and I'm finding myself somewhat hungry. I'm drinking all my fluids and am on the clear liquid diet. Normal?

I would bet money on the fact that you are actually dehydrated. It gives the same feeling as hunger at your stage and you should not being feeling any hunger at this stage.

It should be close to 6 months before you ever feel actual hunger.

Trying increasing your liquids even more. How many ounces of liquid are you getting in every day?

If you are up to 64 ounces then I would guess it is head hunger that is bothering you. Head hunger can be frustrating and the only thing you can do about it is go do something to get your mind off of it. Take a walk, read a book, do some housework (if you are able).

If you are not yet at 64ounces of liquid then dehydration gives you hunger symptoms. I am a pro at recognizing this now as it is always a struggle to get all my liquids in. I have to work very hard it.
