I thought after surgery I wouldn’t have as strong of hunger pains. I think they are stronger now and more often. Anyone else notice this?

Are you sure they are hunger pains? More often than not it is too much acid in your stomach being mistaken for hunger. I have experienced zero hunger pains (growling stomach) but have experienced a ton of discomfort from excess acid. Try taking an acti-acid and seeing if it helps!

No, I just 5.5 weeks post-op and while hungry every 3 hours, it hasn't been "pain" or extreme hunger. I can only eat 2 oz at a time, just more frequently. But sometimes it's "head hunger" and not really "stomach hunger"

My hunger is nothing like pre surgery. It's more manageable for me post surgery. You may want to call your office to rule out a medical issue.

Are you on real food stage yet? How often are you eating meals?

Are you sure they are hunger pains or pains from not eating when you used to eat? I know there are times after I’ve eaten where my Tum says I’m hungry but my brain says these pains are not hunger related - try drinking Water and keeping up more fluids - if not working talk to your doctor / call the office and discuss your concerns :)

It may be reflux or head hunger, but some people swear it's regular hunger... Woman in my support group hammered the NUT until she accelerated her stage to soft foods and was finally not starving anymore...

Use ever tool you can to defeat it, while staying on plan. Warm liquids, can be more satisfying than cold and adding Protein Powder or shakes to tea/coffee/cocoa will go a long way...

And contact your team, as always, to clarify anything we can't help with ❤

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
