Did your hunger ever go away?
I would say that I get really hungry about every 3 hours. I had a protein drink this morning and it really only lasted about two hours but unlike before surgery, I haven't been sitting at my desk wishing I could be snacking, or actually snacking. There is a change in how the hunger actually affects me. Hope that was at least a little helpful!
I was at a LapSF support group last night and Elina brought up the exact same thing to Dr C.
He felt it had to do with increased "carbs" in her maintenance, Elina seemed content with his answer. You may want to contact her directly to discuss.
So mit-tens maybe keep your carbs below 30 grams per day and see if that helps.

people have very different experiences so I don't know what to tell you except I'll bet you aren't alone.
you are not broken, not needing a smack, keep looking into the acid issue and when you are hungry? get in some protein, very slowly. very very slowly. and listen to your stomach, do NOT think of it as your enemy.
once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

my job is in nursing homes and I frequently meet people who have no appetite, because of extreme age, illness, medications or who knows what. I feel bad for them.
I want to enjoy hunger & food! and, usually, I do! before sugery, not so much...
