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!!!

      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.
