Yes, it was liquid splenda.
The first 2 drops (equal to 2 packets) in my lunch was enough to set off the "hunger" feeling. Then I deliberately ate more sweetener that day to test out my theory. A drop in the ice cream, 2 drops in the curry dinner, a glass of crystal light, then a diet pop. Thats tonnes of sweetener when you've been off of it for 4 weeks.
The last 2 days I haven't eaten any sweetener and I'm full and satiated after eating. No hunger at all.
At some point I will try eating sweetener again and see if the "hunger" comes back. I may try different sweeteners too, but I have a feeling I'm never going back!
I'm so happy to have that hungry feeling gone!
