Right after surgery I had the the gnawing feeling of hunger, so I thought, after talking to my surgeon it was a version of nausea, which the dissolvable pills I had post op would help with. So after those 10 pills were gone and I periodically would have the same sensation my surgeon got me another prescription. Sorry I don't have the name of it!
A couple of weeks later I have learned it comes from my Fluid intake, if I am not drinking enough on a regular basis (I know small sips all day long) then this hunger feeling comes. As of now I can only eat soft puréed foods, so eating a couple of times a day, and always sipping fluids has made the hunger pains stop.
Best of luck figuring out what your body is telling you. Everyone is slightly different. Hope this helps a little bit!

I bought a new bike 6 weeks ago! I love to ride now that my arse isn't too big for the seat. I am up to riding 3-4 times a week, and gone up to 20 miles a trip. I average 8-10 on week nights. But ride farther on the weekends. Feels great to be riding again. I have all sorts of new energy now, and really need to continue working on toning away the excess from weight loss. I don't want surgery to tighten anything when I get to goal! I had my longest stall right before I bought my bike. Took a few, but the weight started coming off again - great decision!

Healthiswise - congrats!
I had surgery on 2/11 SW 271 DOS 259 and CW 219! My journey has been unbelievable, first off I have had no pain or discomfort from surgery, and everything has gone well. I am down 3 pant sizes, and have no clothes that "fit". But I have decided to wait till weight loss slows down.
I currently eat about 600 cal a day, but do have a challenge getting all fluids in and eating in the same day, so Protein levels are low!
Overall I feel great and am sleeping much better, I even have dreams, which after sleep apnea was rare! My energy levels are up, and am very happy with my decision on VSG! Even if that means I am COLD a lot more often.
Keep up the great progress!
