I am 10 days post op and I am always hungry. The first 4 days I didn't even think about food, and now I'm always hungry. I drink my water and my protein shakes too. Is there ANYTHING I can eat at this stage that won't hurt me. Oh and I had the gastric sleevr not lap band.

I am also on the 13th! Go twin! I think I’m more nervous about the surgery in general and not the day. I love horror movies and October is my favorite month so this felt like fate. I’m on day 2 of this liquid diet and it’s really a lot. I’m doing a podcast type conversation so follow along and maybe you can call in one day to chat with me about having this day!

My sleeve will be December 6, 2017. Nervous but determined. Sent from my VS987 using BariatricPal mobile app

It happens to everyone. Keep up your fluids, make sure you are tracking everything your eating to check nothing is slipping throuh and usually after a couple of weeks the stal passes on its own.

It could also be a combination of factors: not just the change in your appearance, but respect and admiration for your determination to do this hard thing and make a success of it. Or appreciation that you came though the surgery safely--he may have been nervous about that. It's also possible to think you love someone as much as it's possible to love anyone and then find an even deeper level of love. Doesn't mean the earlier feeling was false.

Well, I think mine was a combo of the fluids + pms/period. Of course that started about 10 days after surgery, period ended yesterday and I weighed this morning and was already down 1lb, so hopefully now that's all out of the way I will see more progress

How's everyone doing? My RNY was July 25, 2017 ... When I began this journey in January I weighed 244 ... I'm down 44 lbs since January, 36 since 2 wks before surgery and 27 since surgery ... I definitely consider myself a slow loser and am going to have to work for every ounce I have to lose ... how's everyone else feeling or doing?

I found I was very hungry by the 5th day. Not just hungry but also sick and tired of peeing. I don't understand people saying they stay full in liquids, mine go right on through and I was peeing 2x's an hour and never "full". So we began sugar free jello, and pureed soup a couple days early and that helped immensely! Now, I'm on soft/pureed foods and find that none of them make me sick, and I can easily eat 4-6 ounces and then I'm stuffed..lasts generally 2-3hrs and then I'm hungry again (tummy growls kind of hungry, even with liquids) Is that just me?!is that about normal?

My guidance was ounces by volume, not by weight, which is a little confusing since most people use scales to measure out their food.

I'm another person who had surgery on 7/25. Doing well, still some lingering pain but nothing that needs tylenol let alone opiates. Still feeling tired and a little wore down. Down 30lbs!
