I think I am in sleeve shock right now, I am 6 days out and I want to eat something so bad! Thanks to this forum I know it is only head hunger but I am craving food I normally didn't care for before, I really want a big hot dog! What is wrong with me? I don't want to drink anymore broth anymore! I am not satisfied, will this change as time passes and I get to normal food? Thanks for not judging!

Yes, it will pass as long as you let it and don't give in. It's easier right now because you really can't eat anything, but once you're allowed to eat, it becomes a battle of willpower if the head hunger is still messing with you.

You can do this though. Mind over matter. Be Strong!

OMG! Your post could have been mine!!! I was sleeved 8/21 and my cravings were insane! I wanted a hot dog SO badly and I HATE them! I havent had red or processed meat in over 15 years.

You'll get by....now I'm enjoying my fish & healthy food with gusto! :-)

      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.
