Constant empty nauseous feeling like I'm hungry
I had that for a while. I think its our mind/stomache trying to sort out their lack of communication after the surgery. It does go away. I just tried different things like a sip of warm tea...a nibble of a graham cracker... It does stop eventually

It was hard and I mean hard for me to do it for two weeks. I can't imagine 6 months. It is worth it! Once you get surgery it will be easy to eat the right amounts and not feel hungry. It's an amazing tool. You should maybe give yourself a mix up for about a week. Maybe healthy eatting for 7 days then back to shakes and salads. Maybe do this every other week?
