from what I understand you still have hunger hormone in your system. and then there is always head hunger as we make the changes. it is kind of the worst part of the process, at least it was for me.

Hang in there, it will get better quickly.

I felt the same around 2 weeks post op (day 2 I was still rolled in a ball moaning and vomiting so you are doing well), but in the end it turned out it was just my new sleeve. Even now it grumbles all day long, very noisy.

The feeling of hunger post op for me is much higher in my abdomen compared to pre op.

At the time I read the posts saying it was acid and just the feeling/noises of the sleeve but was adamant that was not true for me, but it did turn out to be the case. True hunger for me did not return until the six month mark and it is still significantly less than pre op.

Good luck

I'm 14 days post op and I had the same hunger feelings. I started taking prilosec and it greatly helped most of it was stomach acid. Good luck!

I feel the struggle, I am 6 days post Rny and am on stage 2 of the full liquids I just finished a whole packet of oatmeal and felt no fullness or satisfaction of being full. Also just constantly hungry. I am also a band revision so idk.
