Hungry

[Imstarving 5]

I had my sleeve surgery, July 14, I woke up hungry even though I was in pain, was anyone else hungry? I'm on stage 3 and starving, I can drink fluids without any problems, my Doc said that's unusual but I find no comfort in that.

I had my sleeve done on the 14th and I also feel hungry and keep thinking something is wrong because I can drink all my liquids with no problems.

I feel cheated! I hope this isn't a sign of what's to come.

my surgeon told me "eat when your hungry, drink when your thirsty" so that's what I do. SF Popsicles have become my best friend!!

I, too woke up very hungry but, found out it was stomach acid. Prilosec helped with that tremendously. Now, at almost two months out, I rarely feel hungry.. Had my sleeve done May 26th. Good luck with your weight loss journey ????

I don't feel hungry ever...sometimes I have to remind myself that I need to have some Protein. I am 5 weeks post -op.

Yep me too but it was stomach acid. Zantac stopped it.

I currently take two prescribed Prilosec one in the AM and one in the PM so I know my hunger pains are not acid

I take liquid Zantac twice a day, maybe it'll take a few, being lactose intolerant makes things a bit tougher

How many calories are you eating? I'm just curious bc I'm 6 days out and Protein Shakes are high in calories so I'm around 500 that just seems like so much.

[sleeveless 1962 7]

I am only having about 300 calories a day

I'm lactose intolerant so I drinking egg whites Protein Powder, one scoop with 12 oz. Of Water is 120 calories and 24 grams of Protein, I have 3 a day plus diet cranberry juice and sugar free Jello, so I'm under 500 calories

My plan is crazy. They want me to do three meals a day and three Protein Shakes? ? Just seems like a lot of calories for the beginning. I find pudding to be super filling maybe try that?
