Day 2 Post Op, Any Hunger?



Recommended Posts

I'm two days post op and came from the hospital yesterday. I'm on week one clear liquids. By constantly sipping all day, I have gotten 50 oz of fluids. I also noticed some hunger pains that were easily curbed with a little sf Jello. Is this about right? Is it normal to have some appetite so soon?

It seems I tolerated the fluids and the Jello without any trouble. Thanks for input from those that have been there.

I'm 9 days post op and I had the same issue. I found that it wasn't actually hunger. It was the movement of the gas that they pump in you during surgery. I was mistaking the movement of air for hunger. That may just be me but it sounds the same. Make sure you are getting you recommended Fluid intake and Protein intake and you'll be fine. If you are having you goals and are feeling a hunger beyond that you may want to consult your doctor because the biggest benefit of this surgery especially this soon is not being able to feel hunger. Good luck!

Hi there, I am also 2 days out and I find myself being full just from trying to drink the recommended amount. I was thinking man its so nice to be able to drive buy a restaurant and not even be tempted to stop lol, mean while my husband is moaning I'm so hungry lol.

I had my vsg done on the 31st. I lost an entire day somewhere between surgery and today on anti-nausea meds. I was so loopy. I am still just drinking. Tried some yogurt this afternoon but that was a no go. I'm not hungry in the least.

My incisions are not sore either which isn't what I was expecting so that's a plus.

Overall I'm feeling pretty well.

Hope you both are as well!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
