All of the sudden im starving



Recommended Posts

Im 7 weeks post op and the last couple of days i feel like im so hungry. I get all of my Protein in (3 meals and a shake sometimes a string cheese or cucmbers in between ) and also i drink 70oz+ of fluids. I feel the more i drink the hungrier i feel. Literally my stomach is growling constantly and my stomch feels so empty even with fluids. I try to keep my mind off of it keeping busy with my toddler and working full time but litterally i feel like im starving myself even if i ate 1.5hrs ago. Anyone in the same boat?🤔

I deal a lot with head hunger. Lets face it I have had 40+ years of bad habits due to overeating, and I cannot wish it away, I have had to face my demons and know I am eating what is adequate to lose weight and stay healthy, so I just yell at myself ' I can wait till my meal time.' I keep mints on hand If I must put something in my mouth. So much of this is a culmination of bad habits, and surgery is a life saving procedure, but we still have to do the real work that we ignored most of our lives. You can do this!!!! you have shown you are willing to sacrifice to be healthy so keep your head up and your mouth shut. lol, just kidding.

I had my surgery a week ago today. And when I tell you I am hungry ALL THE TIME. I mean stomach growling and just hungry. I hope tomorrow my doctor tells me I can switch to soft foods tomorrow. I'm so hungry.

You shouldn't be this early. Does your doctor have you on an acid-reducer? That growling is most likely acid.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
