I have posted this elsewhere. Is there any chance you are having post nasal drip from allergies? Post nasal drip running down my throat and filling my stomach leaves me feeling "hungry". Prior to restarting my antihistamines I was having a terrible problem with unquenchable "hunger" that was not hunger at all. Try some Claritin if you can.

While I havent been sleeved yet, I read on here from someone that acid reflux can cause hunger symptoms. Have you discontinued your acid reflux meds? If you have, maybe try using them again and see if it helps.

I too am 4 months post op and I eat 4-5 times a day which turns out to be every 3-4 hours. I don't know about you but I can't hold too much food at one time. I think it makes sense that if we only eat 200 calories at a time or less, then we will get hungry that much sooner.

I aim for 60 gms of Protein as the mininum every day but most days it takes me 2 shakes to hit that amount.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
