I'm 70 days post op and starting a couple days ago I feel hunger pangs constantly. After eating I'll be satisfied for about a half hour and then the hunger hits. I read somewhere else that it's acid, I increased my dose of Omeprazole and took two today instead of one. Has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away? It's making it so hard for me not to eat constantly. I am trying but I feel like I am on a diet, like I did before surgery, which obviously doesn't work for me otherwise I wouldn't have needed the surgery.

I am right there with you. I am 8 weeks out and I am always hungry. The only time I am not hungry is right after I eat. I have heard others say to try an ant-acid in case it is the acid mimicking hunger pains but I have not tried it yet. I am down 45 pounds in 8 weeks. 60 pounds including the preop diet so I cannot complain too much.

Well done Walter! You are doing so good.
I’ve heard that it’s because you need antacid too so that’s interesting and worth a try I reckon [emoji16]

How do you deal with the hunger though? I feel like I'm going crazy.

I try to drink a lot of Water and I eat pretty much every two hours you just have to watch your caloric intake



Is there anyway you can give me an example of what your daily food looks like? Sorry to be a pain. I have been trying to get a hold of my doctor's office and they never get back to me. The dietcian won't be back until November 13th.

You don’t want to follow my diet, trust me.
I am sure there are others on here that can give you better advice.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
