Have you ever been so hungry post-op that it was completely overwhelming?

I had open RNY on October 26, 2000. Since that time I have lost 48 pounds. I agree that this surgery is a tool and not a magic pill. However, this surgery has made weight loss so tolerable and even easy. In the last few days, however, I have experienced such insatiable hunger that I can't hardly think about anything else. I even dream about food. It's pure misery. Could this be because I'm not getting enough protein (my doctor doesn't support protein drinks)? I'm consuming between 750 and 1000 calories a day but I've got to find a way to be satisfied or I'm going to go crazy. Has this happened to any of you? Any suggestions would be helpful.
