Are you taking a PPI? Stomach acid can mimic hunger.

Are you getting in at least 64 oz of fluid? Dehydration can seem like hunger.

Are you reaching your protein target? If not, you may actually be hungry.

Are you bored? Under stress? You may be experiencing head hunger.

Thank u so much for the support.

I'd probably be starving too. I'm day 6 post op and I started puréed foods on day 4.

How much protein are you getting? What is your target?

How much fluid? Are you getting at least 64 oz?

By the way: Syntrax nectar, Isopure, and ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates are all clear and have Protein. None broth has more protein than regular broth (read labels). Even though you are on clears, you still need to be getting enough protein.

Protein is critical for healing and weight loss.

I'm still pre VSG, but worry about the same thing---hunger afterwards. Even now, after a full meal, I can still eat and feel hungry "in my head"!!! It is NOT physical hunger.

By the way, are you on any medications? I take an anti-depression medicine called Abilify. It helps with my depression, but I swear it gives me a SUPER INCREASED appetite which is all in my head. When I try to come off of it, the false appetite diminishes, but the depression increases----a real catch 22!!

5 days post op here as well.

I am having what I call "brain cravings"

My brain is telling me how much I miss allllll the foods. While my stomach and rest of my body is like "aw hell no we are fine and want to heal"

I usually grab a sf Popsicle to try and make everyone happy.

Yes I am on antidepressants!!! Maybe I should talk to my physician and change it?
