Hello everyone,
I'm new to blogging here, but have been reading for several months. This site is wonderful. I was sleeved on July 8th. I had a pretty uneventful operation.....I felt very good when I woke up, never did feel sore or sick. I'm very grateful but my worry is......did the Dr not take out enough of my stomach? I know that sounds silly. When I awoke from the operation, I was hungry....growling in my stomach hungry. I've been on the pre-op diet of protein shakes 2 weeks prior, so I know that empty in the belly feeling. I'm just about 1 month out from surgery and have lost about 30 lbs. But more often than not I'm just so hungry. I've been faithful to my diet, but at times I just want to eat anything that I see. I can down a whole cup of yogurt or a protein shake...I feel slightly full. I have read that so many people take a sip/bite of something and they can't or don't want anymore. I was so hoping that the cravings would go away. Why am I not full...have I stretched my stomach already? I haven't eaten any solids yet and won't for another 2 months....I'm determined to keep on track...but I'm just so afraid that since I feel so hungry all the time that something is wrong. Is anyone else going thru this? Thank you.
