Please help! Ravenous hunger, 3 months out.

Hi everyone, I am 12 weeks post op tomorrow. I wrote a post about my fast emptying sleeve and no I'm writing about this, I AM STARVING!!!

Please do not tell me it is head hunger or acid. Early out I did go through head and acid issues and completely got a hold of them and my hunger was 0!! So amazing because even though my sleeve emptied fast I was not hungry. At 6 weeks out I was hospitalized with a molar pregnancy and had a D & C done. I am 6 weeks post op D & C and all this week I have been STARVING, I am not exaggerating I will eat my normal meals (all protein) and be starving all day! Its crazy I have never been someone who is hungry in the morning and now I wake up hungry and go to sleep hungry? Is this typical why is this happening??? Do you think my ghrelin hormone came back with a vengeance or do you think My hormones after the D & C are playing a part in it? Please someone give me an answer, I'm so close to filling out an old phentermine prescription because I can not take this hunger.

are you eating dense protein,meat,or slider protein,yogurt etc?

Only dense.

Are you still taking a PPI?  

What, exactly, are you eating each day?  

Yes I am. Earlier post op I experienced acid hunger which was fixed. So I know what that feels like and did not have hunger after I fixed that issue for weeks until now. This hunger is crazy hunger, I don't even think I got this hungry pre op :(.

You might need a stronger PPI than what you're taking now.  

And, again, what, exactly, are you eating?  

Dense Protein and WATER... Make sure you are getting enough fluids that will help.. Just an option because I had the same issue. Try to shoot for at least 74 oz of liquid

It could be something akin to PMS cravings impacted by the hormones in your body that are out of whack. The week before my period I am an bottomless pit inside. I cannot get full and I crave carbs for 3-4 days. And then it stops when the main event appears. I plan for it now because I know its just something I have to deal with and do the best I can food-wise. Could be something similar for you. During those days I eat extra protein and try to stick to more natural carbs like fruit and whole grains until it eases up. But during those 4 days I am insatiable! Totally hormone related. My dietician says it happens a lot. Hang in there and keep tracking all foods.

Please share what a typical day's food is like for you. We were sleeved at the same time, just about, and I have yet to really experience hunger at all, really, so we have to figure out what's going on with you! :)

You said you're eating dense protein, but we can't know if you're eating ENOUGH protein until we know what a day of food looks like for you. 

Are you getting: 80+g protein? Fewer than 40g carbs? How many calories are you taking in on average? How much water are you drinking? Dehydration can mimic hunger as well. 

If you post what you eat in a day and everything looks on track, then this becomes a question for your surgeon, as your situation would be unusual, unfortunately. 

Same damn thing is happening to me! I was fine the first 3 months now it's like I'm starved to death I feel like I'm in a diet and going crazy! I know it's not head hunger or acid. I asked the same question in the general forum I'm going crazy trying to figure out why I'm always hungry it might be a sleeve thing! Idk
