Are you sure it's real hunger or could it be cravings? Maybe it could be the acid in the stomach causing you to feel that way. Are you taking a proton pump inhibitor like Protonix or Prilosec, etc. If you're on full liquids, maybe some broth, sugar free popsicles, fat free milk, yogurt, low cal juices, or Protein Drinks, Decaf tea is what comes to mind.

I eat when I'm hungry. And yes I still get hungry. 2 bites of something usually fills me up. Unless it's Soup. I can drink a whole bowl.

Me too…..I had my sleeve on January 17th and I do have hunger. I am supposed to be adding soft foods in this week but I am struggling with being afraid of eating too much. I am also stalled and that is really getting me down. With this cold weather it is hard to get in my 64 ounces of Fluid. I guess I have to remember that this is a marathon and not a sprint.

      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.
