Oh okay @@Besson

Full feels different. I'm two weeks post up and my hunger was mental. Got real food today and felt like a complete human! Don't over drink just because you can. Check your nutritionist guidelines.

Right @@elisa5150 but my hunger is not mental it is legit hunger pains in my stomach that I am feeling. I just keep drinking water and protein shakes tho. They said I can't drink too much when I spoke with my doctor ealier today. So hopefully when I start eating real food again it will be different.

@ me too it's so frustrating. No matter how much I drink I am not satisfied and it reallly really sucks.. my mom had the surgery and said she didn't start to feel hungry for 6 months after so. Idk but this sucks lol.

Yes! I was pissed in the hosp and was like wtf? How am I able to do this? And the Dr looled at me like I was crazy. I researched it and also learned that our pouch is healing and the hunger ques and hormones are off. My sensation of fullness is diff now and hunger and indigestion and reflux get mixed up. But I felt freaking empty and starving. I thickened up my shakes and broths so I wouldn't go eat a damn burger! Eventually it got better but i wasn't prepared for feeling that hungry and felt tricked and like a greedy weirdo..turns out im not the only 1

I'm the same way!!! I'm one week out and was given the ok for puréed foods. I was so excited that I made some scrambled eggs this morning (eggbeaters) and I'm thinking it was too thick. I got really sick! I literally took like 3 bites and puked for hours! It was horrible!!! I'm finally feeling better now. This head hunger sucks!

My hunger never went away... it's a constant struggle. Even now.

Have you been given a PPI prescription? Often stomach acid feels like hunger in the early days and causes the bubbly rumble feeling that mimics hunger pains. Once you start real food you will feel a ton better.
