I need help
VSG on 08/13/12
I'm starting to feel hungry I don't know if it's just in my head!! I had surgery on 8/13 I'm on soft foods. I meet with the team from the doctors office and I was told do the protein shake twice a day for breakfast and dinner and drink water in between and as long as I can get the 50-60 grams of protein in and the min of 48oz of water in I can eat something if not do not eat! I'm at the point where the protein shake I was drinking is make me feel sick every time I take a sip I want to throw up. Water is starting to make my tummy hurt wth I feel I just want to eat!!
I had to get on a PPI early out and that totally erased any hunger feelings I was having. If I forget to take it one day, those feelings come back!
It is easy to mistake acid for hunger, so that might be a possibily. Are you have any kind of heartburn or other symptoms of acid reflux? If so, talk to your surgeon about a PPI (that's proton pump inhibitor, by the way).
It could also be head hunger messing with you. You've been through some major MAJOR changes so it can take a way for your mind to get used to eating so much less.
I hope it gets better - and I'm sure it will. Seriously, everything gets better. EVERYTHING! Hang in there.
