Sleeved August 2nd with Dr. Ariel Ortiz (OCC)

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?

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?

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

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).

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.

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 :-)

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
