I have them too! I had my surgery 5/22 (8 days post op) and I also have hunger pangs. I feel like I'm hungry and after I have my protein or soup, I do fell full but then shortly after I feel the hunger pangs again! My doc said that liquids run through you a lot faster so just have snacks like SF jello, Popsicles in between... But I still feel the hunger pangs. I feel like my hunger is not satisfied, if that makes sense. I truly hope this is temporary!?!
