7 months post-op - Return of the HUNGER!

[LawDiva312 33]

Hi Sleeve Friends! I was sleeved in Sept. 2012. I just passed my 7 month date. All of a sudden last week it was as if a switch was flipped and my hunger returned in full force. Here's the worst part: when I eat, it doesn't really go away. It feels like the food isn't getting to where it needs to go to quell the hunger - if that makes sense. The good news of course is that I can't continue to eat, but I'm left feeling still hungry. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas/suggestions?

Yes. I'm taking Prevacid.

Maybe you need a different one? I've read here that some people need to change their ppi. I know protonix is a common one that's a little stronger then Prevacid. I'm on protonix now, but I'm still pre op
