Vetniemeer 36 Posted August 26, 2013 Sleeved Aug 7. Thought the sleeve was the answer to hunger because the hormone is removed. I have never been so hungry - literally - I am so disappointed because while I can't eat lots anymore (thankfully), I'm actually more hungry than before. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing the same? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msmonique41 8 Posted August 26, 2013 I have absolutely no appetite what so ever. The last thing I ate was 2 spoons of chicken broth, 1/2 Popsicle and a sip of Water @ 7pm last night. I'm still stuffed! Does anyone else feel full all the time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never been so hungry - literally - I am so disappointed because while I can't eat lots anymore (thankfully), I'm actually more hungry than before. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing the same? Everyone is different. I go through times when I am really hungry and times when I am stuffed. Are you drinking plenty of fluids? Sometimes I feel hungry, but, what I needed was Water. My body gets its signals mixed. If you haven't eaten in a while it might be true hunger. Try drinking water, wait 10-20 minutes, If you are still hungry eat a small amount. Also, be aware of head hunger. Thats the hard one for me. I was sleeved on 8/6/13 1 Vetniemeer reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have never been so hungry - literally - I am so disappointed because while I can't eat lots anymore (thankfully), I'm actually more hungry than before. Is this just me or is anyone else experiencing the same? Still struggling with this but only sleeved on Aug. 21. I know the feeling. I'm hoping that once I get to eat more solid food, it will help with the hunger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vetniemeer 36 Posted August 30, 2013 Are u taking an acid reducer? My hunger got better after I went on one (sleeved on Aug 6). I still get hungry but it is an appropriate amount (when I haven't eaten for 3/4 hours). Yes, the Dr said to take the acid reducer for 2 months - plus I've always been on them, however, I am not getting in all my fluids so that could be a big part of it. Thanks for the advice :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
