Stomach hungar pains

I just had RNY 6 weeks ago, but am rarely hungry; it's more of a an empty sensation. I am told by my NUT that this is temporary and my hunger will come back after 12-18 months.
I remember from one of the classes that with the sleeve, they remove the part of the stomach that release hunger hormones.
Hope that helps.
I had the sleeve four years ago. The most I had to deal with was head hunger. My brain telling me I needed food. When you eat protein like you are supposed to you feel satisfied and not as hungry. If you eat more carbs then you will feel hungry more often.
I just revised to the Rny this week. I'm hoping the malabsorption will help me a little more this time but with any of the surgeries we get out of it what we put in. Good luck!
