Nauseous hunger feeling

Hi All

Really need some help and advice. So I'm 9 weeks post op and introducing lots of lovely health solid foods again !

However, I have continually got what I can only describe as a b

Nauseous hunger feeling around my stomach and all I want to do is snack. Its a bit like acid reflux but there is no burning.

I've tried reducing portion and bite sizes and chewing more but its just constant.

Anyone else experienced this and will it ever go away ???

Thank u x x x

I take it your still suffering ?

Its a constant feeling for me and when I do eat its uncomfortable and then the feeling of nauseous hunger returns. ????

That’s exactly how I feel. Sometimes zofran helps but I don’t like taking those because they can cause constipation.

This sounds much like acid hunger. It’s not a real hunger. Just the acid increasing in your tummy. It disappears when you eat because you’re using the acid to digest the food. Are you taking esomeprazole?

Some surgeons don’t prescribe it. Some only for a short period. Mine told me I’d be on it forever as I naturally produced a lot of stomach acid & suffers from stress related reflux.

My friend was having the same problem & was snacking a lot. I suggested she start back on her esomeprazole because it sounded like stomach acid & her problem went.

Have a chat with your surgical team.

Good luck.
