Had surgery 6 days ago, mostly pain free except for the near constant deep and awful hunger pain feelings. Mentally, not at all hungry, and drinking or a little bit of pureed things hasn't helped so I don't think it's really hunger. I've seen suggestions it could be stomach acid thing but I'm doing prilosec and tums but it doesn't seem to touch it. Did anyone else experience this? How did it last or what the cause in the end?

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to find some different protein shakes to try and I am allowed pureed soups so I might look for a couple of those

I'm on day 3 of my 2 week liquid pre-op diet before the sleeve. Hunger hasn't been too bad though it's been emotionally much rougher than I realized. But, I am so done with protein shakes, I feel like if I drink another one I'll puke. So my question is, how important is the protein at this stage if it's just to shrink my liver? Wouldn't just eating nothing also work? Because at this point that sounds like a better alternative.
