    I am taking Prilosec. How long does it take for Grehlin to go away?

Yes you are hungry but it's because you still have some ghrelin hormones left over. The hunger will go away... btw.....stomach acid does mimick hunger so a lot of people are on PPI's (nexium, omeprazole, prilosec, etc) This helps with the hunger pains... :) It does go away too....

Up to 4 to 6 weeks............You might also be a little hungry because your on liquids or soft foods like yogurt, cottage cheese, sf pudding, sf jello or protein shakes..... You are doing really good too btw... :)

I have also seen articles stating that dehydration can mimic hunger. Try drinking fluids and taking an antiacid of some sort. I think that should help until you start eating food that stays with you longer.

Thanks! I'm 2 weeks post op and since then (and of course pre op diet) I've lost 28 lbs already! The last 5 days my scale really hasn't moved so I'm getting kind of bummed about that.
