Drinking makes me feel hungry
I drink one hour after I eat, and I start to feel hungry when I drink, almost every time. I take a prescription acid reducer. Any thoughts? This is kind of driving me nuts. My tummy growls and everything. If it's head hunger, it sure feels real enough to get on my nerves! I eat until I feel full, and I eat protiens first.
I discovered early that the longer I hold off drinking, the longer I feel full. I don't think it has anything to do with acid. The liquid just pushes the food out of your stomach, it's empty, and it wants something! Since I can drink pretty fast now, I hold off drinking until about an hour and a half before my next meal and then I really push the liquids for an hour, then do the 30 minute no drinking thing.
Some of it is a head game. Start telling yourself "I'm hungry. But hunger is not an emergency. I can wait." My next meal is seldom more than a few hours away and, if I say my mantra and then distract myself, I do okay.
