is anyone not hungry after having gastric sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I am 8 months out now, and have just recently had hunger poking it's head up again. It's not constant, and it's not often, but if I go 4-5 hours without eating my belly lets me know, it's nothing like it was before surgery though.

I occasionally get what I thought was hunger, but really my body was signaling that I needed to drink more fluids.

I'm almost 7 months out, and I do get hungry. It's not like before, and it's certainly manageable. It also doesn't take much to satisfy it. I think I'm more like a normal person now, with fairly normal eating habits. I do love it! Some days I just feel like eating, and I have to battle that. It's not hunger, it's years of bad habits, reaction to stress, etc.

I'm more or less the same as MichiganChic. I did go a very long time, though, when I really just was never hungry. Now, six months out I often wake up hungry. But it's certainly manageable. I feel normal.

Head hunger, that enemy of all of us, came back at around four months. Like physical hunger, it's manageable and easier to squash.

This is true for me so I was waiting too long between eating and it was causing nausea when my stomach filled up with air. So I eat a bite or two every hour or two.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
