Hello everyone... I had VSG on 8/11/17. I had a revision from a lapband (shhh no one knows) that slipped and stopped working... so 10 years later i went back into surgery to get VSG... i was so scared when i got home and i was able to drink so much liquid, over 100 oz per day. Second week i felt head hunger i think... today has been bad... i fell very physically hungry. at noon i ate 1/2 a salmon and spicy tuna hand roll, should have weighted to see how many oz but i didn't and at 3 i had 3 oz of salmon and mashed potatoes... but i still feel hungry. I'm scare of failing again... i'm scare of stretching my sleeve after going through the pain and stigma. Anyways to all of you who are struggling please know that you are not alone... we all question and second guess ourselves based on others experiences... i'm trying to stay on track and just do what feel right for me.

I haven't been able to drink as much as you but I still haven't had any pain from eating or drinking. Of course, I am only about 16 days out so maybe I just haven't eaten anything that would cause pain. Did you have any physical reaction to the hand roll? I have heard that rice can be painful.

I feel like some of what I am experiencing as hunger is acid reflux but I don't know!.

I am loosing weight though and a pretty good rate so what I am trying to do is keep my eye on the prize. I hope that you day got better.
