Are you on a Acid reducer? I've found that when I didn't take my Prevacid the irritation I felt masked itself as hunger. I'd take my meds again and it would go away.
But yes, hunger WILL reappear. Mine didn't until about 6 months out, but some folks never lost their hunger.
It's awesome you're getting so much protein from your drinks - and that always helps me curb my appetite and keeps me from snacking on things I shouldn't be eating.
There's always the "head hunger" issue... but I find mine kicks in more when I'm bored. I can tell the difference between the 2...

I still have 4 meals a day, plus my protein drinks. The drinks don't really make me feel full, but keep me from being hungry if that makes sense. I have at least 36 oz of fluid, sometime as a protein drink, between each meal. So I always am eating or drinking something. Sometimes when I think I am hungry and I haven't had my fluid, I realize it is thirst instead and after a drink I am fine. There are some foods that folks refer to as sliders and they do nothing for me. I like greek yogurt but even when I put fruit or protein powder in it, I am hungry again in no time. Check out my menus in Miles and Menus for an example of how I am eating that works for me.
I also agree with Jody on the acid reducers. They make a difference in hunger for some folks.

My protein drinks fill me up. I can't eat in the mornings. My first meal is lunch around 11:30 or 12. I have 2 protein drinks in the morning.
