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)

How about it, veteran sleevers? Any words of wisdom on feeling super hungry a few days out? I'd like to hear!

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,

I was banded on the 12th and the Hunger is real....Converted to full liquids yesterday and tried pureed Soup and Protein shake and only could do a few sips of both. 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

      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.
