Lopez1628 17 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) I was sleeved this last week September 2nd. I feel a lot better this week. I was doing awesome since getting home from the hospital up until yesterday. I started getting cravings for anything and everything I know I shouldn't have and idk how to curve these cravings! I don't wanna mess up on my diet and I definitely don't want to risk a leak and I don't want to cheat around my diet. Any suggestions on recipes or foods/soups that you found helped you get through the liquid 2 weeks post op!! Edited September 9, 2015 by Lopez1628 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vixteror 2 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) We're in the same boat. I was sleeved on August 31st. I don't know if it's because of our young age or what because my relatives had the surgery a few years back and their journey was so different than mine. Basically, hours after surgery I was already able to drink big gulps without any pain. Before I left the hospital I was already getting cravings for food. I figured that wasn't supposed to happen for sometime. My uncle was so busy with being nauseous that he had no time to crave food. He was just happy to get a few drops of Water. I was expecting that. Instead I have zero nausea (which is great). but I want to eat everything! I'm on week 2 of post op liquid diet and tonight I finally gave in and bought a cheeseburger from McDonald's. I only ate the meat and cheese but that's besides the point. I'm confused. I knew It would be hard but I didn't expect this so soon. I'm so worried I'll be back to old habits quick. I thought maybe there would be bad consequences for eating that like throwing up or something but nope, I feel like I ate an entire value size combo but that's about it. I need help.

curvybritt 53 Posted November 18, 2015 I thought that I was experiencing hunger after I came home from hospital but it was actually reflux. Its so strange that it can mimic hunger, but upping my anti-reflux medication has helped so much. But I'm dreaming of mashed potatoes and bbq shredded chicken, gosh.
