Are you taking PPI like Prilosec? If not' date=' that will help. Likely acid and not hunger.

I was d/c from hospital on 20mg Prilosec twice a day. So one in AM and one in PM. I stopped the PM one at two months. I still take the AM one. It really works. That's not hunger. It's acid but it feels like hunger! Hope it works for you!!!

Tjloser, how do you conquer head hunger?

[tjloser 62]

I'm still working on that. I try to drink at least 1 Protein Shake a day. I also try to drink as much Water as I can get in. I think the water drinking has really helped with the head hunger. When I drink a lot of water I'm not as hungry or should I say I don't think about food as much.

I asked my surgeon today about taking 2 PPI to deal with hunger today. He said taking more PPI does not help with hunger at all. This Saturday I have a monthly support group where I am going to ask the NUT about my daily calorie intake. At 4 on this I am still basically consuming 600-900 calories a day, still mostly Protein and low carb/fat. I am not starving or even that hungry, but I do notice wanting some food every 2.5 hours and need to pep talk to myself to hold out another 30 minutes to hit the 3 hour schedule. It has been ok so far, no grazing yet.
