Are you taking an acid reducer? Acid will mimic hunger and doesn't go away even after you eat. I take an acid reducer 1 in the morning and 1 in the evening. Many of us need this to reduce the acid. Talk to your doctor about it if you are not taking one. It makes a huge difference!

I take a prescription Pepcid morning and evening (still at 2 years and 9 months). What I would do when I got that feeling after eating is to take a GASX dissolving strip or chewable tablet, then drink something warm (cup of broth or tea). Seemed to make it go away. Once I was healed from the surgery, I tried not to eat more frequently than 4 hours. I would drink broth in the interim or other non calorie fluids.

If I am really bothered by acid or reflux, I supplement the Pepcid with Prilosec morning, evening or both.

i DONT don t know THE exact ARTICLE(GOOGLE IT) BUT i READ EARLY ON THAT needing fluids can cause hunger pain. If you ate and start geting the signals try drinking Water 1st. see if that helps.

Some acid reducers work better for some and not others. Many people have to change them up to get a better result.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
