I am almost 4 weeks post op. I am eating Protein or drinking at every meal. I feel like I am getting so full so quickly that I can't hold very much (I know that's the point) but the problem is about 2 hours later my stomach is empty again. I don't know if it's due to me working out and my body craving more calories? I feel like I'm constantly snacking.

During the liquid and purée phase, your stomach is still pretty wonky but when you start on whole foods with your Protein first, you'll feel full and stay full longer. Just be sure to follow your drinking guidelines- don't drink 30 minutes before or after. It will be normal to feel hunger but with protein first, you slow down digestion and keep that full feeling longer. Beware of sliders!

I am on whole foods. He moved me at two weeks from liquid phase to regular diet. I am pushing Proteins. But I seriously take 4-5 bites of something and I'm stuffed. So then like 2 hours later I feel like my stomach is completely empty and hungry again.

I have some hunger issues myself. I am 11 days post op and had a follow up appt yesterday. I told the dr of my concerns and am waiting for the dietitian to call me back. I did the two weeks prior to surgery mostly liquid, then the final two days clears only. I am on liquids only right now and can stomach about 5 oz at a time. I make sure I wait 30 minutes in between and am consuming 60 gms of Protein per day through shakes. The problem that I am having is I am hungry within 20 to 30 minutes of each meal. I always feeel like my stomach is soooo empty. Could it be that my body is burning the stored fat so rapidly that is why I am hungry right away? I am wondering if the dietitian will tell me to add purees already.

I am having the same issues! My dietician told me it could be mild acid reflux so I got Prilosec so I'll see if there's a difference? I am always so hungry though even though I can only have a few bites! & I have 90 grams of Protein a day!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
