Starving

3 days post op, took my protonix, already have 56 oz fluid 60 grams protein and I feel so hungry. I feel my stomach growling. Any suggestions? All liquid right now

I was feeling hungry today, too.  I took priloec.  What felt like hunger is now a little gurfling.  Also, I feel like if I could just have a big burt, I would feel a lot better. 

Does your belly feel tight and painful still?

I just messaged you : ) belly not bothering me to much. Its my neck. Seems as if the had pain went from my shoulder to my neck, nothing seems to be helping that

The gas pain I meant to say : )

keep drinking,broth,protein shakes if allowed,jello, be drinking something all the time. protein shakes will help if allowed. GL hang in there.

It's not hunger it is your stomache acid. Make sure are taking your prilosec  or what ever you acid reducer your surgeon has you on.. the gurgling will stop once you take your meds. We all go through it. Welcome to an amazing journey.

Tums... Kills hunger pangs. Just pop a couple and you will be amazed! Plus they have calcium so it's a two for!!

For me most of the time I feel full.  It's actually hard for me to get anything down.  It's like work just to stay hydrated.  I just had my first hunger sensation today.  Only lasted like a 1/2 hour.   

Your not really hungry you just think you are. I know it sounds strange but just drink and give it some time and the feeling will go away.

At 3 days and up to 3 months your stomach will do all kinds of tricks. The nerve endings are raw and exposed and your brain only knows how to interpret information from your stomach a certain number is ways. I felt hungry at 3 days too but by the time I got to 3 weeks it pretty much went away.
