Hello all, I'm 14 days post op and in the past week I've started to have severe hunger pangs. I feel like they are hunger pangs, because food or Water is the only thing to make it go away. It's annoying. I've never had hunger pangs like this before. They're almost borderline painful. What's everyone's thoughts?

Sounds more like acid. Are you taking anything?

Yeah, am taking Prilosec as prescribed by surgeon.

It could be an ulcer . Call ur dr

Highly doubtful it's an ulcer. It simply isnt likely this early out. You're only 14 days out. Around that time, if I didnt put something in my pouch every 2-3 hours it kinda felt like a mini acid pit. It was especially bad in the mornings. I took prilosec twice a day up until 3-4 months out and chewed Tums once in awhile. Its an uncomfortable phase that does pass.

Huh, I've noticed that I am getting 'hunger pangs'... almost a growling of the stomach. I am 17 days post op. My doctor doesn't prescribed prilosec... I can get them to go away if I really concentrate on Water and get down as much as I can, in a short period of time.

I wonder if I should try some prilosec... do ya'll take the pills, or is there a chewable one?

Thanks!

I have prescription capsules that I have to open up and mix it in my drink, and drink it.
