Post-op hunger

[Chickensoup 58]

I'm 5 days post-op sleeve and get these crazy hunger pains since yesterday. I'm hungry, but full. Sounds kinda crazy i know. So far today I've had two premeir shakes and a cup of cream of mushroom Soup. Anyone experience this? 🤔🤤

You made my day. I was so worried you would talk yourself out of it. I hope you have a great recovery and get to enjoy all that this new chance in life has to offer.

Hey there chicken soup! I believe that you are the young lady I read about who was reconsidering surgery. If you are I just want to let you know that I am super proud of you! You are doing what you need to do for you and that’s all that matters. Tomorrow is my big day with a 5:30 AM arrival. Wish me luck too. :-)

I had it on the 10th too. How are you doing??

I'm doing well and how are you?

Are you on any PPI's, Rantadine, Zantac, Prilosec, etc? Acid stomach can feel like hunger.

I'd talk to your surgeon's office about that. Going on a PPI is pretty standard. I was on liquid Rantadine for a month, and then switched over to pills.

Honestly, at first, that's how I described my feelings as well. It almost felt like my stomach was growling, yet, I felt like if I drank anything else, I wouldn't be able to hold it down. I've learned now that that's just new feelings that my new tummy has; it's not hunger. I don't get truly get hungry very often.

The hunger is not bad at all today. Thanks for the input

I’m so happy I saw this!! I was having bag “hunger” pains as well and I looked in my bag of prescriptions and I was given one for acid reflux. Thank you!!

lol, isn't it funny that we have to start all over again in interpreting what our stomach feelings/sounds are now post surgery. I have to keep up the daily reflux medication for a few months, then after that I they trial stopping it (I got a second script from my surgeon at my 2 week follow up appointment the other day, as I only have 2 weeks supply left from hospital).

[Pearldrop 164]

Did any of you suffer from reflux pre-surgery? I have it now due to a hernia that my surgeon is going to fix with my procedure.

[cheermom2018 4]

I had mild heartburn before surgery but nothing like this. I also had bad eating habits so I always thought it was caused by whatever greasy foods i ate!
