Katsitsyahawe 16 Posted November 5, 2015 So I had my sleeve done on Oct. 14 of this year. I had my two week follow up last Friday. That day they said I could start on 1/4 c to 1/2 c soft foods for dinner with Protein Shakes for Breakfast and lunch. The first couple days I was lucky if I managed 2 tbsp. gradually I made my way to 1/4 c. But today all of a sudden I am sooo hungry. Yes I know a lot of it could be head hunger but it's not all mental. I am really hungry. I are dinner about an hour and a half ago. 2 oz grilled chicken, tbsp refried Beans and 1 tsp plain yogurt. All approved food. I'm still hungry. Is this common with others? Advice? Also I hit the stall I heard about in weight loss. After losing 43 lbs I haven't lost anything this week. But good news haven't gained either. Just looking for words of comfort. If someone else has experienced this or the hunger will pass. Anything I guess.

Stevehud 1,790 Posted November 5, 2015 the stalls are normal. be careful not just how much you eat but what you eat as well. and losing 43 pounds in a month is pretty damn good! it seems like your eating a very small amount by the way. basically you had about 2.4 ounces of food, thats a very very small amount of food. When you say your really hungry are you getting the true rumbling in your gut? if so id recommend using gas x strips trust me when i say a lot of what you think is hunger is really related to gas and the normal new digestion you are having. It takes a bit more than a month to get used to that and understand it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thisfathasgot2go 235 Posted November 5, 2015 Are you drinking 30 minutes before and 30 minutes after your meals, and NOT during your meals? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KarenLoh 128 Posted November 5, 2015 I've had a lot of hunger since my sleeve in August. I attribute it to gas and acid. I take Omeprazole every morning and that helps tremendously but I still get hungry. If your MD hasn't recommended something for acid or gas, ask them about it. The Omeprazole (Prilosec generic) is a must for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dub 9,922 Posted November 5, 2015 Not sure. Had my sleeve done the day before yours. I've not experienced much in the way of hunger......only mid morning if I forget to have a Protein shake. Even then it's not really a normal hunger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
