I'm on my third day out...I had a moment of ravenous hunger earlier, but a little sip of Water and the rumblies in the tumbly calmed down. Most of my hunger pangs are fairly transitory and don't last past moving around a bit or having a few sips of liquid (I'm on Clear Liquids for another few days)

Me too! I had mine on the 12th and I am hungry today! So if we are all feeling it must be normal. And remember even when we can eat we can only hold a 1/2 cup!

i was sleeved on the 12th at northwestern in chicago and I have not wanted or craved any food, I thought I would want or crave something but I haven't, I even watched food network and didn't feel a thing, I even made pizza for my family and still felt nothing, I'm still on liquids I haven't tried puréed food yet but might try refried Beans tonight,

Today I actually ate a few bites of strawberries and laughing cow cheese.....My tummy ached a little PRETTY much with anything (cramping feeling)but I feel better... SCARED I am going to mess this up but being prayerful and hoping I can do my very best, Best wishes everyone

I was sleeved May 12th and I have not been hungry, so I'm surprised at everyone saying they are hungry, is it head hunger....I cannot see being banded or sleeved and try to eat solid foods that's sad to me, why even go thru all this in the first place...eating mess and cheating is what got us to the point of wanting to get surgery......just don't understand but to each it's own, also people saying just because they can't have food that they think they made a mistake kills me, I feel the mistakes is what got us all here....ijs....no shade

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
