I'm hungry!

I feel hunger. I get hungry several times a day. I don't know what to do. I thought I wasn't supposed to feel hunger. And I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I've never minded hunger. It reminds me to eat. But at the same time I'm wondering if it's something else. I thought maybe it was acid reflux, but I don't feel it up in my esophagus. I feel it in my new tiny little stomach. Does anyone else have this problem? Did it eventually go away? How long did that take? I am 4 weeks post-op.

I never had the actual typical reflux feelings either, but when I started taking a PPI my "false hunger" went away, I was also told that the first little while due to the nerve damage we have post op, as well as the residual gherlin in our system we stay hungry for a while.

And the sucky reality is some always have hunger. I hope you aren't one in that boat, but it is a possiblity.
