Hungry?

[bbrownlee 0]

I was sleeved March 12 and I just feel hungry all the time. I don't know if I'm really hungry or if it's all in my head. Whatever it is, it is very frustrating. I'm still only allowed liquids for another week and a half. Any ideas on how to kick this feeling???

Well, it could be head hunger. Also, acid in your stomach can mimic hunger. Are you taking a good PPI? Those can help with the hunger. Also, are you getting enough Protein? Increasing that could help with the hunger. Good luck!

I found that I had very strong salt cravings that mimicked hunger when I was drinking only. I actually put a Pretzel Crisp in my mouth, chewed it up and spit it out at one point! Then, I bought some Better than Boullion in beef flavor, and started making mugs of very warm Soup with it, and added some unflavored Protein powder to it. It had microscopic bit of meat in it that really helped my psychologically, as well as helped with the salt cravings. Once I went to purees and I started having laughing cow cheese, everything got better. Liquids just don't fill you up very well. Solids rock!

I'm always hungry!! From day 4 I've been hungry. I'm 4 weeks and I find I am always eating. Small amounts of course but still eating 5-6-7 times a day. I swear I need an appetite suppressant. I'm going to ask the dr. I just don't think I should be this hungry.

I thought it was just me ,I'm one week out and for the last two days I feel hungry also but I try to just keep sipping hoping the feeling will go away.

I'm almost 10 weeks out and in the first few weeks when I was on liquids I always felt hungry. When I started more solid foods it started to get better. Now I struggle as I find I can tolerate more food than I did at first. My doctors office says this is normal.

I thought the hormone that makes you hungry was also taken out with most of your stomach? I'm not too sure about it being this fake head hunger it's real I go eat a cookie hunger
