  4. I was sleeved 4/22. I have been drinking my water not eating and drinking together and taking my ppi. Today I feel non-stop hungry. Even when I am full the peristalsis in my stomach is going crazy and it is making me feel hungry. I ate a piece of mozzarella cheese and a piece of chicken. I figured the dense protein would put an end to it but it hasn't. Any thoughts?
