Is it bad... no, but it is there. I really don't think it is head hunger, I have had that... this is my actual littel tummy saying... umm... food please :-)

I am staying on top of my protien, min of 60 a day no problem, drinking good, no complaints.

I did just pop a ppi... do you thin that will help, or is this normal? 

I find out Monday when I can move on to "real-ish" food :-)

Thanks!

Try and keep busy.  This is the time to decided if your going to head hunger and
maybe you need some additional head support.  hang in there. Drink more water.
and if your hungry go to your protein shake or what ever your eating and work on that.

sometimes its head hunger....    hang tight.  I see your protein is 60 and on the low
side.  work on that.

What do you reccomend for protien?  My plan calls for 60-70, which I am getting, then next week down to 50-60... seems kinda low....

I'm hungry now! lol

It's normal, just drink water or a protein shake. I promise that you will be full before you know it. I began to use the dixie cups and filling those is usually the exact amount I could tolerate before I was too full.

Take it slow and learn your new tummy...

If it is acid the PPI will take a few days to kick in. Hope it helps you!

The PPI may help.  I think most docs want you to take it for a couple of months after surgery anyway in order to reduce the chances of excess stomach acid damaging the sleeve during the healing process.  I know I'm still supposed to be taking one in the morning and another at night (and most days I do). 

60 grams of protein also seems to me to be a little bit on the low side.  I'm supposed to be at 80+ and I usually get closer to 100.  Don't know if that would solve the hunger problem, though (assuming its not just head hunger).  Maybe you should try a few different kinds of foods and drinks that fall within the parameters of what your surgeon says you should be eating at this stage.  I found that hot/warm chicken stock (straight from the carton) with a few bits of garlic and italian seasoning satisfied me as well as any more solid food.  Still works for me nine weeks out.
