Firstly congrats on your good losses!!

Now, as luck would have it not everyone is blessed straight out of surgery to be free from physical hunger. Question, are you on any type of acid reducers or PPI's? What can happen is our stomachs will still produce the same amount of acid it always did, which with only 15% of our stomach left this is far too much. It can mimic physical hunger pains.

If you're not, try something to help with the acid - or seek help from your physician.

Next, it can also be that you won't start feeling satiety or fullness until you get on more solid food. This also happens to a lot of sleevers. Hang in there!!!

Hugs, you got a lot of support here - whether it be just to vent or seek advice.
