I'm tired of being tired and hungry



Recommended Posts

Are you getting all of your liquids and Protein in? I'm just asking cause I got sleeved 8 22 16 and I noticed on the days where I didn't get all my stuff in I was dragging, irritable, and sleepy. But once I got the hang of things and got in all of my Protein and liquids I felt much better and not hungry.

I was sleeved 8/9 and I'm on my thick purée. I'm feeling the same way like I'm tired of mushy mushy and liquids. But I know my stomach is not ready for food food so I went on YouTube and looked up purée dishes and was able to get a variety to try and I got some new tastes. I've been also doing baby food

Best answered and addressed by your surgeon. You should have been provided......before surgery.....with a diet to follow and the timeline it unfolds when post-op.

In that first month it is a matter of safety......your safety. Please confer with your surgeon and nutritionist and get the facts from them.

I found that what I though was hunger in those early days was simply my nerves recovering in my healing stomach. Ten months out and I don't have hunger.

You should be able to have meat by week 7 depending on your surgeons guidelines. Right now just focus on making these 6 weeks count. Focus on getting in your fluids and Protein, your Vitamins and if you do,exercise i don't think you will be all that concerned about when you can eat fish and shrimp.

There will be plenty of time for that.

I don't even know I try but eating and drinking the same things are flat out frustrating all I can really seem to tolerate besides my fluids are yogurt mashed potatoes and cream of wheat

If you don't even know if you are getting in your fluids and Protein, does that mean you are not keeping track? Like on paper or an app?

We can't guesstimate what we're doing in the early stages, the stakes are way too high. You didn't work do hard to get through pre-op and surgery to let things slip now bc you weren't tracking the ONLY things we're supposed to be tracking: liquid, Protein, exercise.

And I fear that crunchy sunflower seeds are far far down the line.

Agree with everyone saying to consult your surgeon. I would BET that you will be eating soft seafood by week three or four max but the seeds are a while off, or at least they were for me. You won't want anything small and sharp getting wedged into your suture line. I wasn't allowed to eat ANYTHING like sunflower seeds, strawberries, blackberries, popcorn (hulls), chia seeds, etc. until about 3 or 4 months out.

It's OK to be tired of being tired and hungry, but this will pass and it WILL be worth it.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
