The hunger you are experiencing is called head hunger. You are not actually hungry. The Brain has not caught to the surgery. Not sure what stage you are on, but my surgeon said the first couple of week staying hydrated was most important. Don't advance too quickly as you will find foods you will not eat again. eggs are not fun coming up - that is the food I advanced too quickly on.

Just remember head hunger is a strong advosary. It will play so many tricks on you.

I thought hey I got this liquid thing down I think I can advance. I have not been sick or had nausea I got this! Oh boy was I wrong. The eggs hit my stomach and my pouch said you damn fool I will show you.

About two weeks later I thought to my self man I really really want some turkey. I was on the puréed portion and thought well if I chew this enough I will be good. Same thing happened.

Thanks for the information. My surgery was May 27, I have lost 33 lbs. I try eggs and it hit my stomach like a rock. I have a problem with smells. I dumped for 3 hours after sitting around 2 restaurants. I crave salt, so I suck on chips every now and then. Is this normal? I'm overwhelmed and its only been a month. I need help!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
