I felt like it wasnt normal were u that way?? i hear people say iwasnt hungery at all i had to make myself drink i feel let down

I was hungry the entire time. Everyone kept saying it was head hunger. Then I almost fainted and my Dr squashed it and said, yes some people get hungry.

What I had to do was up my Water and do 6 small liquid meals instead of the 3. I would say, try drinking more if you can. If your liquids are good, try to up the Protein.

Don't worry about this, your sleeve isn't failing you. We just have a different experience with hunger.

Hungry, hungry, hungry! I told my husband that tomorrow when I meet with my surgeon (1st time post-op appt), I'm going to demand a refund because I think he just poked some holes in my belly but left my tummy in. I hear my tummy growling all day long (& yes I've taken my PPI too) & I'm feeling hungry. He left the grehlin (?) part in there too!

I can so identify with you. I posted the same question after my sleeve. (I was sleeved two weeks ago today). I kept reading and hearing people in my support group say how they couldn't even finish the 1/4 cup of liquid broth. I was starving on my ten day post op liquid diet. I am now on a full liquid for one week (cottage cheese, yogurt) and I'm feeling much better. I still can devour my 1/4 cup rations in two minutes without any pain or issues and haven't felt that full feeling yet, but I dealing well with it. The folks on this site have been great, and I've been reassured I'll feel the fullness when I start eating normal food. I had read somewhere, and I can't recall, that maybe my stomach is still just numb from the surgery and that's why I don't get that ful feeling and feel hungry? Sounds like a good reason to me, so I'm sticking by it! I love your line about demanding a refund You are funny!!!!! Keep up the humor and we will get through this.

I agree I'm 7 days post op n I'm Hungary also 3 weeks of liquids n 2 Togo is killing me.

Im 2 wks today also. The first 10 days, I felt no hunger at all. The pastt 4 days however, I've been really hungry. Im also still on full liquids (4 wks) and I also have hope that when I eat real food again, my tummy will feel full. Im also a little scared of eating real food. No clue how much Im gunna be able to eat and what. But I do welcome soft food in 2 weeks! Can't wait for some refried Beans and cheese....

I was hungry on day 4 on. It was terrible. U will Get thru it. I think it's because I was mourning food. It had been such comfort for so long.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one! I was sleeved yesterday around 3:00pm and I feel like I'm starving. My stomach seems to be howling & growling. I told every nurse, assistant, P.A. who walked into my room. Nobody had an answer of what this is..

[lromines 2]

Oh my gosh Me too! 7 days since sleeve and I have been starving at least 3 or 4. I have 3 more weeks of liquids Lord help me!! I thought we weren't supposed to be hungry. That is what I read or I wouldn't have chose this.

[MumtazG38 86]

Oh goodness... the same here. I'm so hungry all the time! I'm supposed to be on a full liquid diet till saturday....which confuses me as the doctor said he only wanted 7 days Clear Liquids and then move onto broths etc from then on. Yeah, 6 days and I screwed it....gatorade and Water just aren't cutting it. I've had chicken broth and Tomato Soup. And honestly I can finish the entire bowl if I feel like it. What the heck was the reason for getting this damn surgery if I'm still starving!!!! AAAAHHHHH.

.......I had some turkey bacon last night......nothing happened. My stomach is still in there I tell ya! These incisions are a lie!!!!!
