5 days postop sleeve surgery; I an so hungry and full at same time



Recommended Posts

On May 17 I had sleeve done with hiatal hernia repair. I have hunger. Like the way I felt before surgery when your stomach would growl. All day. Non stop. And when I drink, hiccups and lots of burping. Try and have something like Soup or whatever, pain bloating hiccups and burping. I feel like I made a mistake. Anyone else have this?

The first few weeks are going to be tough. You just have to do what your dr tells you and get through it. Try to keep your mind busy and not on food. Turn off the tv when commercials come on because I swear...EVERY one of them is for food after you have surgery and it's a mind f***.

I had vsg 5/17 too. When I feel like that I grab a sf popcycle and walk around for a bit. I'm not sure if this distracts me or actual makes a difference....either way I feel better.

There are pressure points behind your ear that relieve pain. I would find the sensitive spots behind on the cartilage and put your finger on it and rotate for the count of twenty. It should help and drink Water you could be dehydrated.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
