This could be caused by acid in your stomach. Acid mimicks hunger in our stomachs. This is probably a good time to contact your surgeon and ask about taking a PPI (prilosec, omeprazole, tagamet, nexium). I was having this trouble in the beginning and I started reading all the posts about taking a PPI and so I started taking omeprazole. It did wonders for me. My hunger subsided too. Best of luck and hopes this helps. :)

Omg!!! Thank you sooooo much!

tums sugar free are really good for that - also be sure to work out whether or not it is head hunger...are you getting back into old routines, old "triggers"

read The Power of Habit by Dughill...if at all possible to follow any advice I give here, read this book, read it again, and then go through and make notes...it is an invaluable aid, a life tool, in my opinon.

Oh it is def not head hunger, It is HUNGER. I thought it was in my head but no, it's in my belly. I hope it's acid, I will find out soon. I do need to start exercising. Im going to start today :-|
