Hey there everyone,

Hope everyone's day is going well. So I am 4 months post op for gastric sleeve. I have lost a total of 66 lbs and have 56 to go to get to my ultimate goal. Yay!

I have since the surgery had no problems with getting hungry at all or eating. For the past week I have gotten hungry at my normal times but when I get the food I am not hungry anymore. For example, today I bought a salad and took 2 bites. After those two bites it felt like I was full already to the point of having that feeling of food going up. I have been able to go all day with out eating anything. Has anyone had that problem and if so what helped you. My doctor said if I am not hungry don't eat. He said even if I have not eaten anything all day. I feel weird doing that. I do not want to starve myself. Any advice.?

Well I haven't had my surgery yet, but your absolutely correct in saying you don't want to starve yourself....but that is what you are doing if you don't eat. Your body is geared to survive on food and Water...without that..could cause body organs to shut down...try to at least get something in your system on a daily basis including hydrating with Water.< /p>

if your not hungry...drink something with calories in it.....but by all means...don't NOT eat. :blink:

I went through that intermittently. I'd try to get nutrition in from home made Protein Shakes when I felt like that. I was scared I'd loose all my muscle and hair so I would just kind of make myself get the protien in!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
