4 Weeks Post Op And Feeling Hungry!



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I had my surgery on November 1 so I am just in my fourth week post op. Lately I have been feeling quite hungry and I know that I have over indulged on at least four locations. I haven't really had any negative side effects from doing this and that sort of worries me. I don't want to over eat and I will stop, however, I am wondering if I have stretched my stomach? I want to smarten up right away and stop this behavior. I just hope I haven't done damage. I don't feel any different so hopefully all is well. Just wondered if it is at this stage easy to over eat. I was always told that it was not easy to overeat. Just so you know I have not had a fill yet but have one booked in approximately 2 weeks. Can someone please provide me some assistance. I really appreciate it.

you should be getting a fill soon. the band doesn't work right away you need to heal and rest aft such a shock to the body. I have a 10cc and now after 3 fill have 6.5cc in it and I am never hungry in fact I have to watch the clock and track my meals to be sure I eat enough. this will come for you but yu need to do the work and this is the time to practice how to measure and solect foods that are right. Clean out your house so there is not food there you shouldn't eat. pack Snacks and shakes with you when you go out so you have the right stuff with you. make this eork it tske seversl weeks to learn all this.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
