I was starving days after my surgery, too. And literally...we are starving. Our bodies are consuming a tremendous amount of calories healing and we've been on extremely restrictive diets and will continue to be. No way to sugar coat it....it's kind of miserable and you've just gotta survive it. Eventually, you do eat reasonable amounts of calories again and start to feel better. You'll be tempted to jump ahead and taste things....don't do it, it's not safe. Let your stomach heal properly. Hang in there. I had insane food dreams, felt weak, and absolutely hated the first month after surgery. Minding the rules is so important for your safety right after surgery. I swear it gets better.

Hi everyone! I am new to this site. Is there anyone else who is scheduled in February for gastric sleeve? I am scheduled on February 8.

I had this on my feet (omg, the itch). I can't remember when it went away, but it did. Though I wasn't sure if it was related to weight loss at the time.

I had this on my fingers. They were so itchy, I would scratch to death, and they would bleed sometimes. Finally I tried cortisone, and it only helped a little bit. It finally went away after about 2 months post op. I never asked the doc what it was.

At my follow up today I was told to measure my puréed food into a 1/4 portion and eat sssslowly for 20-30 mins. Can puréed food be chewed? It already seem mushy. Also I only have to stop drinking 15 minutes before eating and wait an hour after eating before drinking again. I was thrilled to hear I get an hour break before sipping again!

If you are not already on some stomac acid reducers ask your doctor what you can use. I was able to use over the counter nexium.

A week before my oneyearaversary I broke my stall ...Im waiting on my bday in April for professional pics but I did a side by side. IMG_20210210_192202_01.webp

I have this thing about only eating foods that taste good, and don't make me vomit from the smell or taste. "potatoes, rosemary, garlic & Gorgonzola" on a pizza? My boss at the pizza place said back in the 80's when kids would come in and try to order pineapple and ham, "Get the eff outta hea"... Then he would turn to me and say "what's next, freakin jellybeans on a pizza!" I'm a purist, Pepperoni, Black Olives, and occasionally sausage.

Thats fair. I also bake cheese and use it as the crust. Like the cheese crisps for salads.

This topic is covered But Yes way to little you body is going to go into defense mode and not burn fat and start to protect fat! 70 Grams of Protien 800 calories is the average around here for those who can take it. Your like me I am never hungry and never have to eat, but that does not mean you do not need to eat
