Constant extreme hunger?

The constipation will likely be helped by significantly upping your water intake. And it would very likely help the cravings too. You're getting just over 2L a day, if you're drinking all five of the 16oz bottles fully. But any time someone is on medication that is metabolized by the liver - which are many - it's good to up the water, shoot for 3-4L. Drinking it fairly constantly throughout the day is key; pounding it will only full your bladder and then you'll void it before it has a chance.
 
@joeylittle, 4L equals 10 of the 16oz bottles? That's a lot. I don't know if I can do that. I can try but not sure if I can.

I brought the store bought water bottle with me to work today, which held 2 of the 16oz water bottles and I drank 2 of those so that is 4 of the 16 oz bottles. Will likely be able to get 2, maybe 3 more down before bed but not sure if I can get much more then that without chugging them. I normally do not chug unless I am that dehydrated.

Opioid consitipation doesn't seem to be helped by much but I will say that I haven't been hungry at all today. Not one bit. I don't think I drank that much more water if any more. I mean, I wasn't hungry from start to finish of work. I did eat but wasn't hungry.

Its so weird, this food stuff. I can't tell if its stress induced or what as it just comes and goes as quickly as it came. It could have had to do with having too much time on my hands too. I am not just used to working but working a lot, and now also dog training in any spare moment I have. Take a huge chunk of that away and?

But, I don't know. I have SOOOOO many freaking physical issues caused by mental reasons that it is so hard to know what is what. But, water intake is a bit up. So, either way, I see that as a good thing. I will try for as many as I can, without chugging it and keep trying to increase it. Increased water intake is only a good thing. I do know that.
 
The key is to just keep taking swallows regularly all day long. 4L is a lot for many people - but 3L daily would be a very attainable goal. And I'm glad it helped with the hunger feelings.
