boobyholes

Maybe I will run out of food soon. Lol.

Alright I'm back just had to eat something haha. My problem is I live in the sticks miles from civilization. Everything I do is dictated by finances. I spent my life savings on this. So I want to succeed. I had all this stuff in the house. From before the op. I can't afford the finest foods. Or high end stuff. I have to save for the tests. Plus I am unemployed due to health issues from before the op. This was to cure my High blood pressure. And sleep apnea. Which was going to kill me. 2 weeks ago it was normal. But now its probably high again. I just wanted to save my life. I didn't think about the cost afterwards. Now I am disappointed because my progress is being erased. Its like buying a new car and than finding out somethings wrong with the engine. I just want to lay here and not get back up. It was my one shot and I missed. Boohoo play a violin.

. I measure using a tea cup saucer. But I just never feel satisfied for very long.

That might be a possibility. I don't think surgeons take that into account although I wish they would.

I just can't explain things good on this board. It sounds like I'm eating all at once. Its throughout the day just a lot in one day.

Lol the whole chickens takes me all day to eat not all at once.

OK today is the only day I had rice and TV dinners. . I won't do that anymore. But I will tell my doctor about it. I eat in the morning afternoon evening and in between including shakes I'd say 10-15 times a day. I'm talking no sugar added peach cups. Chicken. I was doing soup but ran out so no more sodium rich soups. Its mostly always chicken in some form never fried. But I did have a bowl of cereal on Easter and I did do a cadburry egg. But that's not all the time. So... today was my worst day of being bad with the heavily processed foods. But I have been eating eggs scrambled. Um.. I had chicken and brisket Easter dinner. BBQ. Chicken with a light sauce. Mostly did soups and chicken. For the most part. Still put on pounds from volume. I don't eat unless I'm hungry. I get the urgency to eat. Feeling. I had tea..unsweetened. oh yeah pulled pork unsauced. Um that's all I can remember.

I only have pain in the incision area when I pinch it when sitting. It use to burn but now its less pain. But I haven't been moving around too much because it will flare up. It would hurt when I walked or peed or any kind of internal pressure.

Hahaha. I'm not hiding anything. I've been spilling my beans on here. I know I don't have a proper sleeve. There is no way a normal sleever could do this. I wish I could say April fools. Something is askew. Up until last week I was on all liquids. I've only been on solids for 2 weeks. And the first couple days was yogurt. And soft foods. Now I'm eating whole chickens and brisket what the heck. No pain and a lot of gain.

I do switch my ppis up on a big weekly basis. I even upped the dosage.

The pain on my left side and the lump and indentation is from the cutting I believe. It hurt ever since the surgery. It has subsided but could be a hernia which could also be the reason I'm not feeling restriction. I just thought of that thanks. Maybe I just opened up and my stomach muscles separated. But than I will need another surgery great. Good wonderful. Maybe I could wrap a bandage around my waist to support that area and see what happens. I'm not overeating on purpose. I do stop and wait when I eat. Its weird. Its like I haven't eaten for weeks kind of feeling. I don't ever eat as much as I can. Just enough to take the edge off but its still too much.

Yeah I'm a dude I'm built like a linebacker. So I wanted to thin out more so I could get around easier and not feel like big bird. Wanted a more athletic physique. But its like a big joke I can eat like before only maybe 20 percent less. With the same hunger. Or even worse hunger.

My hunger is like stomach is empty feeling. Like nothing is in there. Even after eating a meal in a short time my stomach is empty feeling again. My stomach aches like feed me. Its actually physical. Like it was before my surgery. Same feeling. I'm over 6 5" I read tall people have longer stomachs usually but mine must be huge. I'm thinking they took my huge stomach and changed it to large. Is that possible?

Has anybody else out there experienced extreme hunger after 6 weeks and did it go away?

I wish I would of had your surgeon. Lol. But at this point I'm going to do everything I can to get answers. My doctor ordered the wrong scans. That's why I didn't have them. I will see him soon.

Mostly chicken. Turkey. Protein shakes. Soup. And today only I had TV dinners. Low carbs. Steak and rice. And baked chicken. I also eat fruit. I drink tea and water seperately. I'm just eating what I consider a lot. The whole helping. I never have leftover. I can do 2 legs and a breast. Black eyed peas. For example. I don't get that sense of fullness. Til really late in. I purposely eat slow and chew. I just had some chicken salad 10 minutes ago. I'm still full as of now.

I'm going to weigh myself tonight. I'm going to get a scale and see how much weight I lost. If its less than 10 lbs after a month of liquids I'm just going to lose my mind. Lose my mind. Oh my my.

Yeah I don't drink before or after. Maybe a sip to get something dry down. I go from starving to full to starving after some time passes. I assume my stomach is emptying quickly. I never get head hunger. Because my real hunger is still here. I would like to get an X-ray and post it to compare just to make sure it was done correctly.

This has been very helpful. Most of you have had hunger reduced. And don't have the same feeling afterwards. I know what you are saying and it all makes sense. But the part of my sleeve that's broken I feel is my hunger level. My doctor said the starving feeling would be gone and I'd have little to no hunger. That's what sold me. As I'm finding out more and more I feel that the doc did not remove the part of my stomach that produces the hunger hormone. Rendering my sleeve utterly useless. Because my hunger is so strong and constant I feel cheated. And why is my volume quadruple what most sleeves have capacity to hold. Especially 5 weeks out. My doctor is hours away. Is there anyway I can get a simple x ray of my stomach locally? I do follow the instructions my doctor gave me.

Well I don't eat out at all. No fast food. No soda. No candy no pastries no bread. I just overeat period. Too much of anything isn't good for me. But that dang blasted hunger feeling is so strong I can fight it but than I would just eat more later. My doctor told me I would not feel this way after surgery and I do. That's why I have questions.

Pdx man. What is your hunger level. Just curious are you very hungry or do you not feel strong hunger.

I measured and know I'm eating over a cup You are right I expected more from my pouch. Guess I needed brain surgery.
