Hello, So my twin sister and I had our gastric sleeve surgeries on August 10th. Today was our first day being able to eat mushy food. We have noticed that we seem to be getting what seems like hunger pains. We first noticed it when we were on the all liquid diet but I thought it would get better once we started to eat real food. We thought it would be easy to get our protein in once we ate real food but in reality it hasn’t been that easy. Has anyone else experienced this issue and is there anything that anyone suggests to help? Anything is much appreciated at this point. Thank you!!

Yeah I’ll have to ask my team and see what they say. I didn’t think I was having an issue with acid cause I never had it come back up but it could be acid for sure especially since we had a little acid before surgery.

Wait for real? I didn’t know that was a thing!! Umm we have acid reducers but we haven’t taken them since before surgery.

I’m sorry you are not feeling really good. I hope that is not your new reality. I just assumed we wouldn’t really feel hunger anymore cause of the surgery. Or at east that is what I was told but it seems like I feel nothing but hunger lately. Or what I assume is hunger.

So our surgeon had us on 3 weeks of a liquid diet and now starting our 4th week we can have mushy/puréed foods. I had a scrambled egg and about an hour and a half later had 1/4 cup of chicken noodle soup. Eating every two hours or so seems a little inconvenient especially when I’m thinking about going back to work. But I guess This is my new life and I have to figure out what works. At least I’m not alone in the hunger feeling. I wish you well on your journey as well tho. 😁
