Ana87 15 Posted June 8, 2013 I was just sleeved on Wednesday, and I must say that I am struggling to get my Protein in. Measuring food is a new habit for me, and I am taking it seriously. However, I am noticing that I am simply not hungry. And when I eat, is hard to slow down, since I am on stage III and I am not eating chewable foods. Anybody else had this struggle??

jandseakin 96 Posted June 8, 2013 I was just sleeved on Thursday, so today is the first day on full liquds. I am seldom hungry yet either, but have found I can best tolerate warm things like hot chocolate Protein mix, and chicken Soup Protein Powder. The sweet and cold stuff just doesn't appeal. I guess we just have to force ourselves to sip, sip, sip. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

taurabird 142 Posted June 9, 2013 Same here, sleeved June 5th. I am not hungry at all though I am still on phase 1, today is POD 3. In the morning ( POD 4 ) I start on phase 2 full liquids. Today was a good day, I have been able to get my 64 oz of liquids in for the first time so I feel ready to advance to shakes and other full liquids tomorrow. I am amazed at the lack of true hunger, now dont get me wrong....my stomach grumbles, and I have some discomfort when I drink certain fluids like g2 gatorade. Unsweet iced tea seems to sit the best in my sleeve and it feels best when I keep some fluids in it at all times, sip sip sip. I have only had head hunger a few times when a food commercial came on the tv but that passed rather quickly cause I am not actually physically hungry. Good luck to everyone's healing!

bandtovsgdone52813 3 Posted June 9, 2013 I'm 12 days postoperative and have NO desire for food (jello, Protein drinks, ice pop, broth) and MINIMAL desire for liquids. I know I'm supposed to be getting liquids in non stop but I have severe nausea when attempting to eat or drink. I've already had my anti nausea meds renewed once. I have a call in to my doctor for more meds or allowance of Dramamine. I have had no problems taking pills or keeping them or Vitamins down. I have yet to vomit, just excessive excessive nausea. Anyone else? Sent from my iPhone using VST Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ms.AntiBand 2,984 Posted June 9, 2013 6 months post-op and not hungry. I admit, ocassionlly I find myself eating from head hunger, but not often. Just remember regales of your appetite, you need to get you fluids in and Protein second. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
