I was sleeved on 9.20.12 & was hm on 9.22.12. I had to stay a extra day in the hospital due to reactions to 2 of the nausea meds. I have only taken one dose of the nausea & pain meds since being hm. Ok here is my issue I feel hungry:-/ I'm on a clear liquid diet until this Fri.

I felt the same way just to learn it was head hunger. It will go away. Drink your fluids.

I am sipping my Water all day. I have gotten sick of Popsicles & I have not touched broth since my pre-op diet. I need to buy some clear Protein, but have heard such bad feedback on Isopure.< /p>

You may have acid in your stomach. you might give you surgeon's office a call and ask about taking a PPI (nexium, omeprazole, tagamet) to reduce the acid. Acid and gas mimimics hunger. And yes, sometimes it is head hunger as well. :)

once you start soft food, then regular solids - your tummy will go into action, with helping you not to be hungry

congrats on the start of your journey

good luck

I felt the same way - I was sleeved on Sept. 21st. My son picked up some Muscle Milk Lite from

GNC (suggested by my surgeon) and that really helped relieve my feelings of hunger. I also like the Unjury chicken, and the Isopure vanilla blended with ice and Water fills me up without all the sweetness. Yesterday was the first day I was able to get all my Protein and it made a HUGE difference in the way I feel today. Think I'll go to work tomorrow!

Well I called my Dr & I was told I need Protein. If I did not start getting protein in I could end up in the hospital. So I went & bought isopure(even though I've heard bad reviews). Well I bought apple melon & blue raspberry. I started sipping the apple melon & I cannot stand the after taste:-(

I too, was sleeved on the 20th. First couple of days were rough but now I'm drinking most of my liquids and getting about60 to 80 grams of Protein. I am hungry. I dream about food. Hard to watch tv. I guess it's a big mental thing! But I've craved grilled cheese sandwiches. I am using a variety of powders tho, and it's helping. I love the nectar lemon tea and the chocolate truffle. I ordered a variety of products from mybariatricpantry.com

I'm glad to know that others are feeling this hunger sensation. I was hoping it would magically go away!

I don't like the apple melon Isopure either! It's nasty! I got the isopure vanilla powder from GNC and it's not too bad, not a lot of flavor but I don't mind that. I really like (as much as I can like) the Unjury chicken flavored Protein Powder. Tonight I'm going to have Tomato Soup (blended) and add some unflavored Protein powder I got from Unjury. We can do this! I got

ALL my protein in yesterday and it made a huge difference in the way I've felt today. Soooo, even if I don't like it, I'm going to choke it down! By the way, I'm not big on any of the Isopure premixed flavors. They leave a terrible aftertaste. I do like the powder though.

I was sleeved on the 13th and also often feel hungry. It's not in my head, my stomach actually yells at me and feels hollow. I try drinking Water, but it doesn't help. Now I just try to get a few ounces of a shake in every hour or so. I think maybe it's because it's so small, it empties faster. I also think I don't take in enough at meal times because I am SOO afraid of overfilling it, I think I underfill it. :)

A tip for the isopure: I found that if I brush my teeth right before I drink it, the after taste isn't so bad. Weird, I know! Also make sure it is super cold.

Good luck!!

I completely agree Isopure tastes terrible. The Unjury chicken Soup is awesome and I like the Unjury vanilla in plain oatmeal. I'm still losing the Protein battle. It's a daily struggle for me. You aren't alone. Hang in there. I had my surgery on the tenth

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
