Anybody 4-5 days out feeling hungry?



Recommended Posts

I was hungry 4 days out. I was worried that my surgery didn't remove the hunger hormone that I was told it would. I am now 12 days post op. I still do get hungry but less now, and I am managing it with protien shakes, Soups and yogurt.

It is hard to say whether the 4 and 5 day post op hunger is true hunger or head hunger. I was really getting mentally down about missing my past go-to comfot foods. I am slowly learning to manage that part.

Yeah tried both chocolate PB2 and regular. I use premier Protein and didnt care for the taste. I am not a fan of the taste, but it has gotten a lot better than when I first started drinking them. Have to stick with the chocolate flavor. Tried caramel, banana, strawberries and cream and vanilla. Dont like any except the chocolate.

You should follow your surgeon's guidelines. My surgeon allowed Protein Shakes and creamy Soups with no lumps at that stage. I found the most satisfying to be cream of chicken (had to remove the chicken pieces).

WHAT IS ON YOUR SURGEONS PLAN IS WHAT YOU'RE ALLOWED TO EAT.

Is that a serious enough response for you?

What the f*ck is wrong with people today anyway? Why does everyone think their surgeons post op instructions are just a suggestion and not to prevent physical harm to their cut up stomach???

Don't worry. It's been perfect since surgery.

I think what most people think is "hunger" post surgery isn't actually hunger. The stomach rumbles a lot after surgery, which is a combination of gas, acid and the stomach just adjusting to the new size, healing, etc... Most experienced patients say that passes. And the ache would be some combination of recovering from the surgery, and the acid buildup. But you've lost the portion of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone, so you shouldn't have traditional hunger. Never discount the "head hunger" in the weeks following surgery, either. It's a real thing.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
