I Am Starving!

[Julez23 2]

Hey everyone, so I'm 1week and 4days in and I feel so hungry!!! I'm sick and tired of liquids already!! I thought I wasn't supposed to feel hungry.. Does anyone else have this issue?

I was sleeved on 8/23 and my first two weeks I was starving. It's head hungry mainly. It will pass be patience. I know your thinking what ever but a lot of us felt the same way. I'm 5 weeks post op and I'm down 42 pounds. It gets better.

I have read on here that the hunger pain could be acid. Try Prilosec and see it that doesn't make you feel better. The girls talking about this said she takes it everyday and it makes a huge difference. Good luck!

I am 17 days post op and I was starving on liquids also but once I started pureed foods I finally feel satisfied again. Hang in there, it does get better!

Starving is a word that should only be used for those in third world countries. You are not starving your head is still telling you that you should be eating. You haven't caught up yet with your tummy. It does get better on full liquids an then more pureed foods. You will be fine.

i had my surgery on Thursday the 27th. My stomach isn't hungry. But my mind is constantly telling me i want food. I think it just takes time to get used to. Your eating habits changed drastically. your mind needs time to adjust. Hang in there the results will be worth it.

I feel the same way. Had mine on the 26th and I'm hungry. I think I should have had a labotomy instead lol usually after a few drinks of a Protein Drink or some grits I feel better. I've noticed I need to eat or drink every few hours

Same here. I'm almost 3 weeks and I want sassy foods. Tonight I made lasagna for family and I had Tomato Soup. I made them apple crisp for desert and I had unsweetened applesauce (I did add cinnamon and sugar- ya do what's the point of unsweetened right?). I want brownies popcorn m&m's etc. still waiting for head hunger and cravings to lesson

hopefully, you should be done by now right? hope so! I am on day 9 of my liquid diet and I feel the same way! I thought it would be better, some hours of the day are better than others, I keep drinking Water, tea, eating Jello, pudding, popsicles. it's hard for me, especially at work where people are always eating. Be strong, you should be done with it by now and it will all be a memory. i come here to get moral support and remind myself that i will soon be posting how much better it will be 'afterwards'.

Have Faith everyone, we are doing something to better ourselves and live a healthy life!

I am almost a week out and have had this problem too. Every time I think I am hungry, I drink Water. I have also heard it may be an acid issue but I have not taken anything for that. It will get better! As the numbers on the scale go down you will forget the hungry issues Good luck!

Amazons right in a way. People starve all over. Hell I know girls who starve on purpose. I know people that starve cause they bought beer instead. Alot of people choose to starve. All most of them have to do is get off their ass. People in 3rd world countries atleast in the areas that I know of in my mind have to hunt and gather food. Thats a whole different stereotype dont you agree. They just cant get off their ass and rob a 711 or grocery store. If they dont catch, gather or kill anything for the day they starve. We got it good. Its when we lose our golden blanket that the people will starve and die off. Lifes great civilization can be crippled dramatically and its sadly based on the monetary dollar. Hmm I must be going through one of my anger phases. But my motivations is at its best at this stage.

But yeah. People starve everywhere but some of those can step up and control that issue if they really wanted

Yes! That's exactly what it was, because I no longer feel that way! I began to take anti acids and feel better! Thank you
