Ok I have a weird one. I'm four days post-op and I swear my stomach is having hunger pains. It only happens to me once in the middle of the night and it feels just like a hunger pain used to but with out the rolling feeling (does that make sense?) I wake up feed my pouch some Protein shake and then it's like (he,she,it?) is happy and we are all good again?? What is this? Does this last? Anyone else have to feed the beast in the middle of the night or do I just have a diva pouch?

Yes. I had the same thing happen to me right after surgery. I was actually hungry for a while, until I got onto solid foods and it got better.

Oh good! I'm glad to see someone else has been in the same boat. That's a relief to me ❤️

It'll get better once you hit solid foods. Hang in there!

I thought it had something to do with the gas pains, but I had it too! It got better on puréed foods

@@fallenfeatherstudio - I'm PO day 10 and I also have hunger pain. But mine are all day long

It's a real bummer. I'm looking forward to more substantial food (puree etc) because I really hope that will stop the hunger.

Personally, it doesn't matter right now if it's "head hunger" or "true hunger" ... they feel exactly the same to me.

I hope you overcome this soon, OP!

I'm currently on my liquid diet and I feel as if I'm ALWAYS experiencing hunger pains! I feel as if liquids are NOT "filling" me up? I almost feel as if once i start solids i can eat endlessly lol I just cannot WAIT until purreed foods!

@@Lulu_RNY I'm having the exact opposite :/ I'm not hungry in the least! Today my two year old brought me three chocolate chip Cookies and any other time previous to this I would have eaten them all. Even if I wasn't hungry. It was weird. I held them and didn't even care. I wasn't concerned or wanting for them at all? I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not but hey I'll take it!
