Hi everyone I was sleeved on March 14. So far things have been pretty good. I've been shopping and went to Walmart to get some walking in. I still can't kick this hunger thing. I know that I can't eat physically but my mind is teling me I'm so hungry. I'm still on my liquids diet and I hope that this will get easier!

I had my surgery 3/13 and my pain has been manageable. Mild incision pain, occassional stomach or gas pain. I didn't eat much the first two days, just 150 cc total. Starting today it seems I am famished! I'm wondering if I'm the only big butt that the sleeve isn't going to work for. I know that gherlin remains in the system a while post op but I'm going crazy. I'm limiting my portions out of fear I will burst something and not necessarily out of a strong sense of feeling full. I'm doing only liquids at 4 days out but I feel like I could go for a cheeseburger and fries! I'm trying to get my fluids and Protein in but mentally I'm wanting a full meal. What's wrong with me!!!!

You're doing a bit better than me. I had my surgery on 3/15 and haven't left the house since I got home from the hospital yesterday. I'm definitely not having hunger pains. Too many other pains to distract from hunger I guess. Good luck to you and hang in there.

niahri, there is nothing wrong with you. this process is every bit as mentally challenging as physically challenging. I am 5 days PO and I have had a lot of the same feelings you have had. I have had mental breakdowns over the past few days wanting a slice of pizza or a bowl of cereal! My daughter's birthday is today and she chose to Celebrate at Cici's Pizza buffet. Oh boy, this is gonna be tough for me! you have to keep pushing on and remind yourself that this is for your health. You WILL be able to enjoy a cheeseburger/fry meal a few months off, just in a much smaller portion. Look at it that way. your body isn't ready to deal with that now. Sadly my body isn't ready to deal with pizza and it won't be ready by this afternoon either! I feel your pain!

      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.
