I am eight days out of the revision surgery but I would still sometimes feel hungry in the evening. Is this normal or not? I drink about 70g of premier protein shake each day. When I feel hungry, after drinking two sips of protein shake, it kind of relieve my hunger. I feel worried that I would still want to eat? How does everyone else feel? I have lost 10 pounds since surgery but did not lose any weight in 2 days. I don't know if I am doing something wrong.

Has your dietitian approved premier protein? Mine did not ( I know each Doctor might have different requirements) and the reason for it it's because it has fiber which they told me we need to limit after surgery I believe until few weeks later. Have you tried another protein drink to see if that might help?

After RNY gastric bypass surgery, many people report losing hunger. Generally this condition does not appear until one reaches the solid food stage. So I would say it is probably normal because you are only 8 days out.

You may also feel a need to chew. This is natural part of the digestive process and you may begin to miss this.

Some people experience head hunger. This is a false hunger.

Yes our dietitian approved premier. She actually highly recommended it.

Thank you. Hopefully like you said I would lose the "hunger" when I reach the solid food period.
