Yes you really should go by what your doctor hs told you. Every doctor is diff on what they allow you to have. I have seen where people were on liquids for six weeks to eating soft foods first wk

"I've had lots of NSV's (from a size 22 to an 18)."

Sorry to be so dense....but still can't figure out what NSV is! :)

Non scale Victory (i.e. lost inches, looser clothing). I could go on all day with this!

Hello;

I'm four days out and feeling pretty hungry. Anyone feel similar?

Take an anti acid it can cause feelings of hunger or drink more Water being dehydrated can give you a signal of hunger but its actually dehydration.

I am tired of reading about how hunger is just in our head. I appreciate you on the boards Amazon, but sometimes ya gotta let others be different than you. :)

Some wake up from surgery and are never hungry again. Some are hungry after a year or two. Some are starving a week into it.

I'm going to say that (for now) I'm stinkin hungry. It could be acid but I've been on this Dang antacid for 5 or so days now and I'm really not noticing much of a difference. This feeling comes and goes just like hunger did before. I'm pretty sore I've read that it can take a month or so for all or the grehlin hormone to leave our bodies as well.

I just hate seeing newbies come here saying they are hungry only to be shot down. It's true that some people REALLY ARE hungry after sirgery.

(Hugs for the hungries)

I am two months out and get hungry !!!!

This is not like before I might add. ;). I just get hungry NOT ravenous so this is nice! I agree with a poster about acid or need for more fluids

I eat about 600-650 calories now. Before I was about 4-500 for the last few weeks. I get on treadmill about 4-5 times per week or do Pilates.

So everyone will be different. Good luck guys! Our journey will be successful ;)

        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
