Once I Eat, Than I'm always hungry

Once I put food in my stomach, than I am always hungry. Is this normal?

Please any sugestions... I am 3 months out.

Are you on a PPI? Excess acid can mimic hunger pangs. Even if you are already on a PPI, you might want to ask your surgeon about switching to a different one. A lot of people have to go through some trial and error before finding the right one.

I do take dexalant for acid reflux. Thanks for the reply.

I was on Daxalant also, but I felt like it made the hunger worse. It is a really strong PPI, but I found that it made me so burpy that I had to change to something else.

What are you taking now?

Currently, I'm taking Prevacid. It works really well for me. No reflux, no heartburn, and no crazy hunger pangs.

Thanks, I will talk to my Dr. Only lost 2lbs this month:(

Me too!  And I am on a PPI twice a day.  I spoke to the NUT and she told me there is no truth to heartburn mimicking hunger thing' just sayin.  I am three months out also and wondering where is this not hungry thing everyone is talking about.  I am hungry all the time.

Rosie - I'm here to tell you that your doctor is dead wrong.

I won't speak to "heartburn" but excess stomach acid absolutely mimics hunger...at least what I've always assumed was hunger.   I hit on a great way to figure out if my "hunger" was excess acid or not.   I will pop a couple of Tums and if the "hunger" passes away real quick then it was acid.  If it doesn't then I'm really hungry.   And guess what?  9 times out of 10, it's acid.  But keep in mind, I have one of the worst cases of excess acid my doctor says he's ever seen...and I take a PPI every day :-( 

I am going to pop some tums when I  get the hungry feeling. I also have alot of Gas, which I never had before the sleeve. 

I do take a PPI everyday. I need to start loosing weight!!!!!
