Hunger?



Recommended Posts

I had my revision from Lap-band to the Sleeve on Aug 15th... My portions are 1/4 to 1/2 cup and I can't ever finish a 1/2 cup. I've read so many posts about people who can't eat or keep food down at this point, etc. It seems towards the end of the day I start feeling 'hungery"... anyone else expirence this? I dont know how it would be possible, but have I maybe stretched my pouch?

I guess I wouldn't.... I don't think I did... I think I'm just getting used to the sleeve.

Yes I am currently on soft foods- no problems at all actually. How about you? What are somethings you are eating?

could be "head hunger"...not really hungry, but your mind is playing tricks with ya. If you are drinking your recommended amounts and eating correctly then it is probably head hunger....Good Luck

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
