You may have reflux. It can mimic hunger. Ask your Dr, you can take medication for it. Good luck!

Are you still drinking all of your Water? I had the same thing happen around 6 months. I increased my water and made sure I was eating Protein throughout the day (and healthy fats). Just be careful of snacking and taking bites here and there.

Yep take your PPI acid meds, drink lots. Sometimes we just have hungry periods! Also make sure you're getting all your lean Protein in and keep your carbs low mostly from veggies!!! No Beans or rice!

Sounds like lots of good advice. On top of all the potential false alarms for hunger, there's also a chance you're actually hungry. Most of us didn't get obese because we ate when we were hungry. The problem was we ate when were not hungry, when we were hungry we ate to excess. When feel really hungry, drink at least 8oz of Water. If you're still hungry 15-20 minutes later, then eat something healthy--preferably with healthy fats and Protein (way more satiating than carbs). If you limit your carb intake to the minimum (for me that's 20 net grams of carbs per day), I find that I have less hunger throughout the day. I'll also point out that I am a new newbie having just been sleeved one month ago today, but I have not lost any feelings of hunger. That doesn't happen for everyone--grehlin isn't the only hunger hormone. :) Anyway, just because you feel hungry again doesn't mean you're about to blow it and eat yourself into obesity again. The fact you're worried about it is a good sign. Just continue to stick with the program and it will all work itself out.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
