@@meeshae,

It's a struggle when you are hungry. Could we get more info on what you are eating and drinking?

Could be acid, could be head hunger. Are you drinking your water/fluids? After you eat if you are trying to meet your Fluid levels you should feel at least somewhat full from trying to get in 64 ounces of fluids.

How much are you eat and when? Is it time to up your calories?

Can you tell the difference between head hunger and actual belly hunger?? Old habits are hard to break and sometimes I find myself nibbling ALL the time......out of sheer boredom cuz my head tells me....."Oh my gosh......you are trying to starve me!!!"

Are you on an acid reducer/PPI such as omeprazole or Protonix? Many times people deal with increased stomach acid after sleeve surgery, and it presents itself as hunger. If you are on an acid reducer, consider asking your doctor whether an increased dosage or switching to a different medication might be worth trying out.

If the issue is not head hunger, acid, or inadequate fluids, and you are genuinely hungry, maybe adding vegetables to your diet would be a good idea or trying different Proteins. It sounds like a talk with your nutrtionist wouldn't be a bad idea. I see you have had great success so far, so obviously you're doing something right!

      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. 🤞
