After surgery gas and acid reflux can feel like hunger.

Take gas x and an antacid see if it goes away. If not feel up on Protein. What stage are you in liquid, purée, soft?

This doesn't help you now, but it gets better. I'm 7 weeks out today and for the first 5 I was ravenous. I still get hungry, but it isn't intense and it's only been the last week that it hasn't literally driven me crazy.

I can totally relate. I am just 5 days post op and still on Clear Liquids till who knows when. I have my NUT appt on 1/8/13 and am hoping I can progress to Atleast full liquids.

I'm Hispanic and we go all out with the food on Xmas and New Years. The smell in my house from all the cooking is driving me crazy. I'm really starting to have buyers remorse. Atleast think wth did I do this before the holidays. It's soooo hard!!!!

perhaps what you think is hunger could be dehydration and acid indigestion.. Find something to drink when you feel that pain. Try an acid reduction med too.. If it is true hunger, it will get better as time passes. try and eat low carb high Protein. eat slow and dont drink before or after. Good Luck

They are absolutely correct with the acid/dehydration making people feel hungry. Has happened to me a lot. Dehydrated and starving. Better now. Every time I get indigestion (a lot) I feel hungry.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
