Still feeling hunger after sleeve - post-op day 11

[punklandia 1]

Hi folks,

so I'm 9 days out and have been sticking to the liquid diets. I live off low-fat yogurt, Protein Drinks like nutridrink and cup-a-Soups.

About 4-5 small meals a day, 3-4 hour intervals, as suggested. Sometimes though, I still feel hunger! Is this normal?

Wasn't the whole point of this surgery the lack of hunger to sustain long-term weight loss?

On the upside, have already lost (in 11 days!) about 9 kilos! Whoop whoop!

So is it normal I'm feeling hungry? Thoughts? Thx

Are you taking an acid blocker like Nexium or Prilosec? Sometimes acid reflux could feel like hunger.

Yes, I am taking omeprazole twice in a day, morning and night, which is another name here in Europe for Prilosec.
