I am 8 weeks post op. Suddenly this week, I am very hungry. My usual AM premier Protein shake wears off very quickly, and I need food. It's not acid, but real hunger. I've been eating yogurt, cottage cheese, veggie burger, banana. Is this hunger here to stay? I've also been craving sweets and salt. Odd!! Thx!

That doesn't mean anything to me. What foods are you allowed to eat? Soft? pureed? Full diet?

sorry, puree stage

Thanks for the replies!

I know it's not acid bc I take Prilosec everyday, and neither Pepcid trial or Tums trial made it any better.

I eat chicken as well, plus tuna, eggs and ground turkey. I tried beef, but did not go so well. I am getting 70 plus grams of Protein in daily, and over 70 oz liquids.

I get full fast when I eat, so I stop eating bc I thought I am supposed to stop when my body says stop. Maybe I need to slow eating down more, so I can get a little more in at my mini- meals.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!

Two months after the surgery, I used to get hungry like that. Its gone now.
