My surgery was on June 25 and I'm 11 lbs down. Is it normal to feel hungry? I thought that hormone was in part of the stomach that was removed??

I was sleeved on June 24th and I feel hungry too! I was wondering the same thing....

What you may be feeling is acid, not hunger. Many new sleevers feel this. Talk to your doc - he may prescribe a proton pump inhibitor. In the beginning I confused hunger with acid - I'm 7 months out now and I can tell the difference. I know when I should be hungry and when I shouldn't. Also, true hunger feels different than it did before surgery - hungry now feels more like "empty" - you'll have to learn your new sensations.

Best of luck to you!

I kinda feel hungry just 6 days out

I had my VSG July 14. On the 18th, seemed like my stomach woke up and said, "What the heck!, where's the food?!" Seems I was hungry all day. Of course I'm still on liquids. This morning I was awaken by terrible cramping in my stomach. I think it's gas. It subsided and went back to sleep. Had a dream a birthed a BIG baby. HAHA Got up. Had a little hot tea...fine. Tried a little broth. Oh man, such pain with each sip!. Is my stomach trying to tell me something?
