Question: Why do you think your hunger is fake?

I had this as well when my reflux meds ran out at about 6 weeks and I didn't renew the script. It wasn't until I told the nurse that I would get really hungry every 3 hours that she told me I shouldn't be so soon after the sleeve. Back on meds and it is much better but not completely gone I have been wondering if I should top up with chewable when I get the feeling or increase the nexium.

Because I experienced this before surgery when I had eaten a lot. It happens now too when I have eaten.

How is your GERD hunger different from regular hunger? I am on meds twice a day, so I really don't think my hunger is GERD, but I am hungry all the damn time and it's making be irritable and generally crazy. I can't imagine it's GERD hunger and I know it's not head hunger. I thought after surgery, you aren't supposed to feel hunger. Guess I'm just lucky.

I'm post surgery, and I'm hungry all the damned time. LOL. Tummy isn't growling, but I feel that kinda light headed pokey feeling when my blood sugar gets low, and I get kinda headachy. It's definitely hunger...cause I eat and it goes away. Just nice that 4 ounces does the trick now:)

Yes! I totally had this problem at first (sleeved 12/7). I don't know what made it calm the heck down, because I didn't change my meds, but by one week out, maybe a week and a half, I wasn't hungry all the time just some of the time. Maybe my stomach acid just needed time to chill. The PA at my surgeon's office told me GERD hunger is definitely real, though.

I thought so too! Then I had the surgery, and turns out even after my GERD settled back down, I'm still hungry. Right now I think it may have to do with the liquid diet. Maybe once "real" foods are back in my diet it'll get better. Hope it gets better for you, too!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
