2 Days Post Sleeve - Finally Feeling Hunger



Recommended Posts

I'm about 55 hours post op and am feeling my first real hunger pangs. So strange to not eat yet not feel hungry.

I actually haven't felt any hunger pains yet. I'm really on a schedule to make sure I'm getting my Protein in. In a way, it's very freeing to not obsess about what I'm going to eat. (But I can't wait to get to the soft food stage next week so I can taste something other than chocolate, Soup and fruit-flavored drinks!)

OK - I'm making an attempt at drinking a Protein Shake. Hope it goes down well.

Just take it slow. I was just sipping at first. We have a brand new digestive system and we have to re-learn how to use it.

I'm 2 days post-op too. All I've had so far is broth, sf Popsicles, sf Jello and G2. My mommy (I'm 36, lol) just went to the store to get V8 and creamed Soups for me to try. I'm glad, because my new stomach is hungry!!!!

The Tomato Soup went down fine - I made sure it was milk-free.

For gas, take Gas-X. I was taking 1 an hour on the first day post op. Also, walk - move around. Walking really helped.

Keep walking. It takes a while but eventually you will get relief. Most people have the gas for several days after they get home. Comes with the territory. And don't worry, gagging and passing gas will not rip open your sleeve. If it did, we all would have been in emergency surgery.

For me, it hurt much worse keeping it in. I don't remember any discomfort when it came out...kinda like a few hiccups, then it was over and I felt better.

      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.
