Why do I feel hungry still?



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I am 3 days to sleeve gastrectomy.

I thought that I would not feel hungry as much anymore. However, I woke up hungry from the surgery.

And I've been feeling hunger ever since!

I addressed it to my Dr., He reassured me that everything went well. And to stick to my eating schedule and meds, and that the feeling will reduce in the days to come.

Is that true? Did it happen to anyone else? What is the reason and how did you tackle it?

Could it be head hunger vs physical hunger? Are you on a PPI? Stomach acid causes an ache that mimics hunger for many

⬆️ 100% this. I had the worst issue with acid the first week after surgery and it felt like hunger almost. That will resolve itself, don't miss your PPI medicine.

I am Day 8 post surgery, on liquids only, and am having the exact same problem. I feel quite weak and hungry all.the.time.
I'm also unsure what 'full' should feel like now. I have not, at any time since surgery and being on liquids only, felt full in the way I would have previously felt after e.g. eating a bowl of Pasta or a steak!
I'm a bit frightened that my surgery isn't a success.

Tons of posts on this exact same situation and fear.

To sum it up, you won’t feel full until you are able to eat dense proteins

You most likely aren’t feeling physical hunger, but head hunger, stomach acid, combined with being in the habit of eating.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
