I did not think after the surgery I would feel this hungry. I am getting 80-90gms of Protein, juice, Water, Soup, etc and I am hungry. I am 1 week post op today. Does or did anyone else feel this way, I am scared, I am not going to stop overeating and that's what got me to the surgery. I thought the hunger is supposed to be gone, please tell me what you think, Thanks

You mentioned juice? You might try cutting it out of your diet. Any kind of fruit tends to cause me head hunger. You may be getting so many carbs that it's triggering head hunger. Read the labels on your foods and cut out anything that has more than 5 to 8 carbs per serving.

When I was on my post op diet, I was only allowed meat, chicken, pork, cheese and vegetables. Nothing processed or with added sugars.

I'm not a sleeve patient (I'm RNY), but I've heard sleeve patients say that sometimes excess stomach acid can mimic hunger. I'd call your surgeon's office and see what they say.

It's not hunger. It's stomach acid.

I'm 10 days post op and i get the same feeling. But i guess it's just because we are not actually eating!! liquids dont replace food no matter how small our stomach is. I think over time our body and mind will get used to smaller quantities of food and the hunger will fade away.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
