Bettye, I am also three months from surgery on 2/19 and I am hungry ALL the time and have been since the day of the surgery. I saw my dr last week and he said it just must be that I am not getting enough protein. I have tried since then eating Clif Builder protein bars (20mg protein in one) and I do feel more full after I eat one of those but then I get hungry like an hour to an hour and a half after. It’s definitely not head hunger because my stomach growls super loud. My son says “Mom you need to eat, I can hear your stomach across the room!” I feel a gnawing intense hunger feeling almost all of the time unless I am eating or for about 15 minutes after I eat something. The dr also said to eat more frequent smaller meals. I was losing about 5# a week until last week. I’ve stayed at the same weight since then. It’s so disheartening, I fee like I am being driven crazy with this hungry feeling and I never felt hunger very much before surgery. I would always skip breakfast and sometimes lunch. I wish I knew what is going on. I have been researching this and think I’m going to order Spirulina to take. There is a high protein plant-based one on Amazon. Let me know if y’all get any help or info about this. Mary HW 352 SW 278 CW 238 GW 140
