I was sleeved 4/22. I have been drinking my water not eating and drinking together and taking my ppi. Today I feel non-stop hungry. Even when I am full the peristalsis in my stomach is going crazy and it is making me feel hungry. I ate a piece of mozzarella cheese and a piece of chicken. I figured the dense protein would put an end to it but it hasn't. Any thoughts?

I have not had the surgery yet but my sister has...she said that feeling comes from too much acid in your stomach, her surgeon had her take a pepcid a day for the first three months and it really helped... Some people even have to take an antacid longer... Hope that helps

That's the ppi I am taking. I take pepcid twice a day.

I have really bad reflux since I have had the surgery. I have been put on 80 mg of Prilosec with divided doses of 40 am and 40 in the pm. Also I take a Zantac in the pm as well. Before this I felt hungry all the time after my second post op week. Then in my 3 rd week post op the severe reflux came on strong and I started taking the meds as I just described. I no longer feel hungry unless I go greater than 3 hours with out food. I believe it's the increased acid you produce in your tummy that makes you hungry. My meds have helped a lot. I am now 7 weeks post op and down 35 lbs, My reflux is better.

Now that I started thinking about it I started back at work last week and I work nights so I've forgotten done of my morning doses of meds lately because I've gone home and right to bed! Think that's What probably did me in.

It was like someone flipped a switch and I went from never hungry to hungry all the time the last couple of weeks. I don't suffer from reflux, but I may try taking some Prilosec just to see if I'm misinterpreting these gurgling hungry feelings.
