For the last few days I have had this constant hunger pain. Even after I eat. I haven't felt it before. I am just a little over my 3 month bypass surgery date. I noticed it after I stopped taking my Omeprazole. My dr told me to stop after 3 months out. I am starting to think it's not hunger pains, although it really feels like it and maybe something else. I have lost a total of 57 lbs so far with no stalls.

Any ideas? I started taking the Omeprazole again today hoping it will go away. It's so uncomfortable. I have a check up next Monday and will talk to him about it as well.

Thanks everyone and happy losing!!

Congratulations on your weight loss!

I wonder about this too. I notice that I have feelings of hunger, kind of like my stomach growling but not exactly. This happens sometimes when I drink water and other times after I eat. I wonder if it is just my stomach doing its thing but it sure feels like hunger. I don't meet with my NUT until the end on the month.

Excess stomach acid *WILL* produce hunger sensations. Did you ween off of the acid meds or did you just stop cold turkey? Might be some rebound acid production if you did just flat out stop the acid meds. Def call your PCP / Surgical team and get their inputs, they might put you back on a lower dose and then step you down to prevent rebound acid production.

I would go back on something fir acid reflux, your first indicationis that it is 'constant, even after eating' - that is not hunger. Good luck.

It does sound like reflux. A gnawing almost hunger pain. Hope the meds work for you!
