I think my sleeve is bipolar!



Recommended Posts

Somedays my sleeve is a ravenous beast that can't get enough fluids and food!! Other days like today, my sleeve doesn't want anything...

Couldn't even finish 1 egg for Breakfast this morning and yesterday I think I could've eaten the side of a house!!

I know that it depends on the kinds of foods I start feeding my sleeve in the mornings....example, if I eat straight Protein first thing I'm not as hungry (which is the right way to start the day) if I start with a Protein shake or yogurt, I feel hungrier sooner!!

I don't think in experiencing true hunger yet, I think it may be more head hunger!!!!

Your right! you should start your day with an organic pure Protein and an egg is perfect for that.

I got off the shakes as soon as I could, no need for all those chemicals in my body. But to each its own.

I also do not experience hunger. I can go all day and not eat and I don;t ever feel anything. I sometimes feel empty but never hunger.

I have a grouchy tummy some days I can eat anything and be ok and other days I will eat something normal and be pukey all day long. I think its pretty normal.

I don't think mine is true hunger like I use to get pre-sleeve I think it's more like you said....it's an empty feeling!!!

Head hunger is another story now!!!! Sometimes that head hunger talks REALLY, REALLY LOUD Though ;)

How funny you say this...I am the same way! Some days I feel hungry a lot...other days I am struggling just to swallow something down. I know that I am truly hungry though cuz I will take anything to fill my belly, not just a "craving". It's strange though. Idk why I didn't lose the hunger like some folks, but I think in the end that won't be a bad thing, cuz i've read several posts about people not wanting to eat at all:( Not healthy at all.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
