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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
