How Hungry Are You?

Lol MNBsleeve. You are sweet. I knew what you meant. Thank you all for giving me all of this good info. I am just trying to piece it all together to get some sort of imagery. I realize my story will probably not end up looking like the image I am creating, but it does help to have something to go on.

Ghrelin is the hormone that stimulates appetite and it is produced in the fundus/ upper part of the stomach which is mostly removed with vsg. I agree with others that most of us who need this surgery probably have some food addiction issues and that head hunger is most likely the cause of feeling so hungry post op.

I an 2 weeks post op and had the terrible head hunger that some others mentioned. I even had a rant post about it. Couldn't believe it would get better but as the days go by it gets better.

I am 16 days post-op and I still get hungry. I am hoping that as I can add chicken, fish and eggs to my diet (more protein) that this will go away. I get full easily but two hours later I feel like I am starving!
