Tomorrow I hit the two week mark! Today I felt hungry. I have read that sometimes this is due to your body producing too much acid and having to adjust to the change. Has anyone else felt this? I feel like I want to cry!!

Actually no. And I'm not sure if I'm glad or not. I'm at week 2. 5 and am struggling to want to eat anything. No hunger, but no real desire to move past liquids. Still have food fantasies but when it comes to actual eating anything... No. And it's weird.

Are you still taking a ppi? Acid reducer?

Hunger is natural. What I would suggest, this is also what I am doing, eat your three small meals and if you feel hunger in between if you feel hungry drink Water and that should have the feeling go away. Another suggestion is eat a small spoonful of natural smooth Peanut Butter. I think VSG affects people differently and feeling hunger early on is natural. To be honest it is not normal to not feel hunger. I think the fear of hunger is that we think it will tempt us to eat. I cannot speak for you, but I know I have eaten food when I was not physically hungry. So, do not freak out about it. Hunger is normal. Drinking water may help the feeling go away between meals. Let me know if that works for you.

I'm hungry too...was hungry from the pre-op diet when they wheeled me into the OR, was hungry when I woke up, and 4 weeks later, I'm still hungry. I have moments during the day when I'm not (say, 15 minutes after I've eaten) but by and large I'm hungry all the time. PPI didn't make a dent (I had chronically low stomach acid going in, so overproduction wasn't much of a possibility) and I drink 70-90 oz. of Water a day (NOT DEHYDRATED!) At my 2-week my surgeon sort of shrugged his shoulders and said that the human body is a mystery. Sigh.

I have had some hunger at night, I'm still on the full liquid diet. I'm going to be glad when I eat protein again.

Chicken, pork...

I'm getting tired of jello, broth and Popsicles.

I'm one month post op and it seems that when I feel hungry its most likely Im starting to get dehydrated.

I am at 3 weeks today. I have had a moment where i smelled what my family was having for dinner and i felt a little hungry but I just drink water and i am all good. Drinking water takes away any hunger pains.

I'm four days post sleeve and I feel hunger too. It is scaring me because I thought the surgery was supposed to make me feel less hungry. Is it because I'm on liquid diet? Does it go away eventually?
