I had my surgery last Thurs and i am so hungry. I feel like i can eat anything, I haven't but is this normal?

I'm not sure if this is what you're going through, but I had a ton of "head hunger" for the first month...I wanted food (in my head) so much! In my case, it went away. I've also heard that if you're not on an acid reducer, it can feel like hunger.

I'm on Day Seven and I feel your pain! I went through that, too, and today my hunger was magically gone. I've got heartburn like crazy, so I suspect that Darla's point about an acid reducer is a good one. It's totally normal, though.

I did call the Dr and she did say head hungry. Dang this is no joke. Glad I'm not alone. I am on a acid reducer too. Feeling alot of rumbles in my belly today too.

Hormones still in your body, so yes it is head hunger. Not that this statement makes you feel any better or your tummy less noisy.

Taking a PPI (acid reducer) really helped me. Are you on one? Call your surgeon to see if you can get some. Might not "fix" you but it will help with some of the symptoms a little.

Congrats on being sleeved, remember this is a learning journey.

I am 4 days out and starving! Dr said no milky drinks during first week or two, but I don't know how long I'll last!

I am 6 days out and feel like my stomach us full of chemicals. Called my Dr and she allowed me to start my 2ND week diet. I am struggling with my Proteins the most. Does anyone have a good suggestion for Protein Powder to add to food. I am totally over the clear Isopure.< /p>
