Hello Sleevers! I am 2 weeks post op and am beginning to feel hungry for the 1st time today, all day. I have 20 more grams of Protein before I reach my 80 gram mark today. Although I can not eat a lot. I'm worried that the hunger may be a frequent experience (more than normal) Any suggestions?

Are you taking a PPI? Make sure you are drinking plenty too!

Thank you for responding. What is the PPI? Is that the acid reflux medication? If so yes, I take it every morning. Although I was thinking of moving it to afternoon.

Try taking it in the afternoon. Good luck!

I feel hungry all the time. Drs are no help, I try to have 3 meals, and 2 Snacks....the more I spread it out the less time I have to be hungry. And I drink liquids when I get hungry and it's not feeding time. Some people do get hungry, we are just lucky!

I was very hungry during post op liquid phase. Purees were slightly better, but it wasn't until I went onto Soft/Mushy stage that my hunger finally went away.

My NUT advised me to keep adding Protein powder to my liquids and purees.

Good luck.

Get some pickle popsicles or just drink a little pickle juice.

LOL, too funny

I suppose if you freeze the pickle juice, you may make pickle popsicles ?

Then again, they could be too acidic for the baby stomach ......

Good idea!!! I'll try it hahaha
