Hello, I'm new to the group. I am just five days out from my surgery, and down 10 pounds already. I do have a mental feeling that I need to eat something, but I know it's all just mental.

My sleeve was April 2. Down 14 from when I came home. Concerned I have hunger pains. Anyone else dealing with this?

Hunger pains? Mm I hope I don't get those and maybe it's just in the beginning while your new stomach recovers from being swollen!

Okay, had my post op today. Asked Dr. Pesta about the hunger pains. I'm stick with it. Requires more discipline then because I could want to eat more than allowed. Not happy. They hurt. Truly hoping it's a stomach acid thing that would calm down later. Oh well, losing so happy.

also sleeved on the 6th. I get bad tummy gurgles, but no actual hunger. although have had some head hunger, even in my dream last night.

Did your guys doctors put you on anything for the stomach acid? I have noticed mine gets worse if I don't remember to take my pepcid at around the same time each day.

Hi, I just got home from Juarez Mexico today - surgery was Saturday April 11th. I was given a 2 month supply of acid protector to take 2 times per day.

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
