So I've read a lot of the already forums about the gas pains and feeling hunger. I guess I'm just trying to see about other people's experiences because I definitely get gas pain but I'm also feeling very hungry too. I wake up and want to eat something. It's been pretty difficult so far.

At this point, hunger is often due to acid. Are you taking a PPI such as prilosec or nexium? Dehydration can also be the cause, so work on getting your liquids in. Sip as much as you can as often as you can. Hydration should be your job right now.

As for the gas - walk as much as you can, that'll help it to dissipate.
