i am reading how ppl throw up how ppl have no appetite. i have not thrown up yet and i am 5 weeks out. i eat every 2-3 hrs and trust me by hour 2 its like i never ate. im thinking also im not eating enough after dinner i can go 3 hrs before im hungry but all other meals im hungry. plus i stop eating after that first uncomfortable feeling so maybe im not feeling up my stomach. is anyone else like me>

I was d/c from hospital on 20mg Prilosec twice a day. So one in AM and one in PM. I stopped the PM one at two months. I still take the AM one. It really works. That's not hunger. It's acid but it feels like hunger! Hope it works for you!!!

Thanks newgrandmother. I am on fitness pal. I don't like cottage cheese but I can do tuna and yogurt.

Tjloser, how do you conquer head hunger?

I'm still working on that. I try to drink at least 1 protein shake a day. I also try to drink as much water as I can get in. I think the water drinking has really helped with the head hunger. When I drink a lot of water I'm not as hungry or should I say I don't think about food as much.

cbt i did take a ppi twice a day and it didnt work so i know it was hunger

I asked my surgeon today about taking 2 PPI to deal with hunger today. He said taking more PPI does not help with hunger at all. This Saturday I have a monthly support group where I am going to ask the NUT about my daily calorie intake. At 4 on this I am still basically consuming 600-900 calories a day, still mostly Protein and low carb/fat. I am not starving or even that hungry, but I do notice wanting some food every 2.5 hours and need to pep talk to myself to hold out another 30 minutes to hit the 3 hour schedule. It has been ok so far, no grazing yet.

fiddleman yep it didnt work for me at all. so i stopped taking them i dont get any acid problems either
