So I had my sleeve done 3 days ago and I'm on the nothing but Protein Shake phase!! I can't stomach the sf jello... But the Popsicles I can!! I'm already looking forward to phase 2!! Day 8 where are you?? Can anyone tell me if this is normal to experience hunger pains this soon!!?

Also what are you consuming at this point? And then onto Phase 2!? I think I'm hungry!!! Help :(

I am on day 6 and going to the full liquid stage tomorrow. I am learning how my new tummy feels. I have had weird feelings, unsure if is it hunger or maybe a spasm, or even little cramping. I was told to be very careful of mental hunger !! Also I was told that my little tummy is swollen for up to six weeks, and still very very small like a straw .

I was feeling the same confusion as u I am now 6 days post op. I went on YouTube and Dr.Alvarez made a wonderful explanation as to what we are feeling and it made perfect sense. I would paste the link but I'm on my phone but yes I too felt hunger pain in the middle of the night I was freaked out had two sips of my shake and went back to bed LOL

Look it up though it will mKe u feel much better

I'm still preop but thank you for this post, so rumbling and swelling going down makes more sense. :-)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
