I think it's just the food passing real fast through the pouch. I will ask my doc on 2/24 and see what he says; I do understand, for some of us is not "head hunger" I can differentiate between the two. Oh well. I think we are all here for a reason, and should not criticize one another. After all, we are all on the same boat

Do you notice it more with certain foods?

I looked back at what you wrote and thought about myself at the same time period. I had some issues like this. I knew it was not hunger though because of my swallow test being live, I knew where my stomach was and where my intestines were. The longer I was eating real food, it stopped. Then again at 6 months I had some days like that and then it ended. It seems like a switch flipped for a while then it went off.

I think it is part of the healing process. Maybe some other veterans can chime in.

what do you mean by your swallow test was live?

I was awake and watched my swallow test on the screen so I pretty much know the exact placement of my sleeve and intestines in relationship to each other.

I'm always hungry! Never felt like this before I had surgery and it's not "head hunger" either. I'm not an emotional eater, I too just made bad choices when I would finally get really hungry around 2pm each day. (Always skipped Breakfast so this would be "lunch" for me.) I was sleeved on 2/23. Still transitioning to soft foods. I'm hoping this goes away once I can eat more in the future.

Are you taking anything for acid? You might have developed GERD since surgery, that would make you feel hungry all the time.

I am. They have me on a PPI.

Maybe you need a different dose.
