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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
