It has been 7 1/2 months since my surgery. Does anyone else experience strong hunger pains only when they start eating? I make myself eat because I dont feel hungry and as soon as the first bites are taken I get very strong hunger pains that are uncomfortable. Also continue to have a lot of nausea when eating.
 
Yes, I mentioned it to the dr and he hadn't heard of this before. Said it sounded like ghost pains....its very odd feeling having hunger pains as you eat.
 
Maybe you should ask for him to check it out a little more. Because I have not heard of anything like that either.

I felt like hunger pangs after eating, too. The nurse suggested that I may have eaten too quickly and it could be gas. Gas-X was recommended and it worked. Slowing down and the Gas-X solved it for me.
Like anything else, keep in touch with your doctor, though.
