Ill be three weeks post op in Monday. I'm on soft Protein. I literally feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I'm never hungry. Did anyone else experience this and does it eventually go away? I have a lot of head hunger but the second I take a bite of something, I just don't.....feel it, I guess you could say.

I feel your pain. I am 5 weeks out this week. I was on soft foods but everything I ate made me sick or uncomfortable. So, I would have rather had nothing. I still don't get too hungry unless I go a long time without eating. I promise it gets better. I am still waiting to get all my energy back. Good luck to you!

I'm a year post op and felt the exact same way right after surgery. It does change after a while, in the beginning I had to remind myself to eat and I NEVER felt hungry. I guess about 5-6 months post op I started to get hunger pains, I would eat a spoon full of something and I was full. Now that I am a year out, I can sit down and have a small meal, I know when to stop and in now way can I overeat like I did before surgery. Best think I ever did !!!!

19 days post op and feel that way daily. I have NO appetite. I am eating some soft foods, but have no desire for them. I have now gone 4 days without all of my protien....... I also have only lost FIVE pounds in 19 days, and have been in a stall for 7 days.

I dont have a loss of energy, nor do I feel sick.... I just have NO appetite.

6-8 weeks I started getting hungry (very different than pre-op). Prior to that I pretty much made myself et cuz I knew I needed to...

      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.
