I am wondering how you are doing, now that is been about a month after surgery?
You see, I also felt this "hunger" about a week after my surgery. I had been on thing but clear liquids though, and I think that I might have been starving myself. When I finally drank a protein shake and then ate some real food, the hunger seems to be gone.
What I wonder is, if I can tell the difference between a craving and hunger? I have been wanting a taco, and I am pretty sure this is a craving, not hunger. But I was a bit discouraged that I felt any hunger at all, as I was told I would not feel hunger for a year. If I was feeling it 10 days after surgery, that did not forebode well for my success.
Eat the hamburger without the bun. But as long as you keep taking in sugar, your appetite will probably be out of control and you'll have strong cravings for other foods as well. Sodas and fruit juices are the worst, even natural fruit juices without added sugar are terrible. Sugar withdrawl isn't fun but only last a few days to a few weeks. Then you'll have a better chance to make good decisions. You can do it !

I had been hearing so much about a two week pre op liquid diet, so I was afraid I'd go under the required BMI. But it was not required for me. Find out so that your RD knows everything she's dealing with. I actually gained a couple of pounds right before surgery, but no one weighed me on surgery day. Blessings

There's nothing at all wrong with a hamburger. As long as you don't eat and drink the rest of the stuff that goes along with it.

95% of weight loss is diet. Even those of us with surgery have to alter our diets. If you can't control your hunger, it might be worthwhile to see a doctor as well as a counselor to determine why.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I weigh 196 pounds and I want to reduce my weight. The main problem is that I'm not able to control my hunger, also I eat junk foods. I know it's not healthy and I should limit but I can't help when someone comes with sweets or hamburger. I just love it!! Is there a way to reduce my weight without compromising my favorite foods? This is the main reason why I'm not going to a dietitian.
I am 3 weeks post op and found out (the hard way) that I cannot tolerate eggs. I am so sad. I LOVE eggs cooked in all ways. I am hoping this is temporary as they are filling , cheap and a great source of protein. But, just had my THIRD ( yes it took me three times) dumping -like syndrome feeling pretty bad.
so I hope it passes and I can some day go back to my beloved eggs!
