is something wrong

Ok so when I went through the classes to have the surgery, I was told I would never be hungry for around 6 months and that I would need to set timers to remind me to eat! So that's not the case I'm on week two of the post op diet so maybe that will change since I'm actually getting something other then liquid, but still dozen make since why I feel hungry when I was told I wouldn't be!! Anyone else with this similarity?

You need to determine if you're experiencing 'brain hunger' or legitimate hunger. If I feel a pang that resembles hunger, it's my sign that I need to drink more Water. I do not feel real hunger anymore...however the Water hunger, I do feel.

I agree with the above comments, it cod be brain hunger, thirst or your nutritionist may need to up your Protein.

I can't even get in my Protein now I get full way to soon, I am only week two of post op so I can't have any real meat and basically my only real good source of protein is my shake and my nutritionist said I need 60 to 70g and that would be 3 shakes per day and no way I can do that!

But I bet your probably right its more of a thirst hunger

It is important for you to get your protein in but during the first few weeks after surgery, your body is in a healing mode and many people struggle. So just keep trying and things should get better.

Have you tried Isopure? They have some good favors, sip on it through the day, 40g protein in the bottle. Also powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, they have un-flavored that you could mix into yogurt or creamed Soup.

Good luck!

Sometimes the hunger is actually acid reflux. See if you can try a Zantac. That really helped me.
