Surgery Monday 10/24 Feeling Hungry



Recommended Posts

Are you taking a PPI? Stomach acid, which most people manufacture in excessive amounts after sleeve surgery, will make you feel hungry. If you aren't on something like 40 mg daily of omeprazole, you may want to talk to your surgeon or PCP about that. Or you can just buy it OTC.

I'm taking 40mg of Protonix. I'm nervous that something went wrong with the surgery.

I had my surgery last Friday and I was surprised that I got hungry a few days later. I would have a Protein shake and would be good

I am having Protein shakes according to plan, maybe I can try an extra one.

I start as soon as I wake up in the morning. I have made it my job for the next few weeks.

I think that's normal. When people are in pain, they think something went wrong with the surgery, when people (like myself) had the easiest recovery (or was hungry the first couple of weeks), we think something went wrong with the surgery. By the 3rd day I felt so "normal" and I swear I thought they didn't do it except that I had holes all over my tummy hehe.... But once I hit the solid food stage, there was no doubt about it. ^^ Your hunger will drop off once the swelling goes down and you get the acid under control. ;)

That's how I feel. I have had a pretty easy recovery. Getting in the Protein and liquids, moving around pretty good, didn't have a need for pain killers. I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing and hoping for the best.

Any advice on how to get my 48-60g Protein and 60oz liquid in a day? I was sleeved on October 24th, so this is my 5th day? I'm also hungry or at least I think I am. Lol

Be sure you are taking a PPI (acid reducer). Start drinking as soon as you get up and keep sipping throughout the day. 2 shakes with high Protein will get you the protein you need and should count towards your liquids too. Find non caloric drinks that you like - tea, crystal light, Powerade Zero, broth, sf popsicles, sf Jello. Just keep sipping.

I had the same thing going on and then realized that the feeling was actually acid. It feels very different post op then it did pre op and is just kind of like an unpleasant sensation in the stomach for me, similar to hunger.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
