Good afternoon to everyone. I had surgery dec 6th and I've being having hunger which is weird for me. During my stay in the hospital I was with a horrible pain (which is normal) I thought I was giving birth my daughter again. The day after I started to have a lil hunger which is fine but now I've being hungry like at 0500 (5am) or through the day. Is someone having the same problem that I have??

Sometimes stomach acid can mimic feelings of hunger. Are you on anything for that?

I take omeprazole once a day and I def notice a difference in feelings of hunger when I forget.

Not getting in a lot of fluids will mimic hunger as well. Are you getting enough Protein? Use the flavorless protein and sprinkle it on everything, include mixing it in your water/beverages. Hope this helps. Good luck on your journey and best wishes!

PS.

I'm 9 months out and hunger sets in if I miss my Protein Powder.

I am taking omeprazole too. I have the Protein Shakes and they are giving me nauseas so is being hard for me to tolerate them. I'm drinking ovwr 70 ounces of Water and crystal light (combined). Something crazy is the butter from the popcorn helps me with the nauseas faster than the pill they gave me. I don't do it often. I tried twice and it worked. Lemonade helps me too with the nauseas.

Congrats , I also had my sleeve on Dec 7. No nausea so I'm lucky. I do have a lot of pain but the Dr said it was because I had a hernia that I was not aware I had. Good luck with your recovery. ☮

Thank you so much. I'm glad you didn't have any nausea. In my case, the shakes and the Jello they gave me at the hospital make me nauseated. Best wishes for you

You're allowed popcorn less than a week after surgery???

No, I'm not. What I did was just lick the popcorn and then trash it. I don't eat it. I just do it to calm the nauseas. And for me it works fast. I'm not saying is good to do it. Is just the shakes and sometimws the Vitamins are giving me nauseas. But I'm too scared ro eat solid food until my surgeon allowed me. Is something that I will let him know in my next app

I was told to take the omeprazole for 6mos and when I got my hunger pains..I sipped a Protein Shake n it smoothed it away..try and have a shake, Jello or sip every 2 to 3 hours to help.. I put myself on a time schedule for my Vitamins and chews after 2weeks (especially since I had to for work) it also helped the inbetween mental cravings for hunger....
