Hi Deb from Mass.

Congrats on your surgery! Hope you get to feeling better soon and some things that might be helpful for you to check while you are adjusting and healing are your Fluid and Protein intake. Lack of those can make you feel nauseous, and weak. I know it's hard early out to get the fluids in while recovery from major surgery in addition-

Also check to see if you are on an acid reducer. Hope those ideas help a bit- and there are many people here my senior on vsg who might offer more helpful ideas to check on.

Nothing is wrong. You are rcoverng from a major operation. I am surprised that you are hungry. Surgery in and of itself ususally suppresses appetite x 2 weeks, much less a VSG. Sometimes thirst and dehydration maniests itselfas hunger pangs. If your are not getting in 64 oz of lfuid daily, this i probably what's going on. I struggled with the fluids as I had SEVERE nausea for aout 3-4 weeks. One thing that really helped was buying crushed ice and chomping on it constantly throughout the day. I would even wake up at night some and eat it. Also, your body is likely in ketosis from restricted calories and carbs if your doctor has you limiting carbs right now. This will make you weak and sweaty, but so will recoery from a major abominial surgery. Give yourself time to heal and don't worry too much. The first few weeks are VERY HARD, so don't be surprised if you feel bad. The most important job you have right now is healing and it takes sufficient hydration, rest, and Protein to do this. Good luck!! You will be a different person in a month!!!
