Hungry 2Hrs After I Eat....



Recommended Posts

I am about 3 weeks post op. I try and eat just 3 meals a day (as suggested by my surgeon) .....but I feel really hungry after about 2 hours. I can only have 2 or 3 bites and im full. Is this normal?

It's normal for me & from what I've read it's common. Damn well annoying though, I spent 10k getting this done with the expectation of never feeling hungry again......how wrong I was!!!!!

You might try taking something for acid. I take omeprazole and the helps with not feeling hungry. I also increase my Water intake too. Sometimes I confuse thrist for hunger. Just food for thought. :)

very normal you will be able to eat more as the swelling goes down after you are done healing. I am 6 months out and I can eat 1/2 a BLT, one hard shell taco, one whole yogurt container, one small fish fillet...

This is happening to me, too. Began at 3 wks out (I'm now 6 wks out).

I talked to my Dr's NP about it (She had the sleeve last year). She asked me about my Fluid and Protein intake. My Fluid was fine, but Protein was not (I had stopped Protein shakes b/c they repulsed me).

She said I need to get 60g of Protein DAILY, and that the only way to do that immediately was with supplements. She said to do my best to get my protein in and see how it works.

I'm still not drinking a lot of shakes, but I am eating more and trying to eat Salmon, Shrimp, and other meats that are higher in protein first. When I do this I feel better, although I still get hungry from time to time. Thankfully, it doesn't take much to fill up!

Hope this helps, and good luck!!

My NUT said that during the puréed and soft food stage I can eat around every 3 hours bc I won't get enough Protein to keep me full to only do 3 meals a day. Obviously everyone is different, but maybe you should ask them if this rule applies to you to. Good luck!

I am 10 months out & I eat 5-6 times a day... 3 meals & 2 or 3 snacks... You just have to watch what you eat & always eat Proteins first. Drink a lot of fluids (especially water). And walk, walk, walk... :D

Just curious..aren't we supposed to eat every 2-3 hours regardless if we are sleeved or not? I really think all the diet pros recommend that, don't they? Or am I dreaming? Which wouldn't be the first time when it comes to food!! Lol.

When i was 1 month out, i had hunger pangs every 2 hours! My nut said it was ok to eat every 2 hours since my meals were wee small and I got full quick anyways (2-3 bites of something). That stage does pass!
