I heard with the sleeve you all do not get hungry. Is this true? Also has anyone had the sleeve and weighed over 350 lbs before surgery had much success in the first year?

Head hunger for me is when I want something to eat but my body isn't hungry. It is confusing but when I think I am hungry I have a glass of Water and the desire goes away. Overall, I have to remind myself to eat. I forget which is the strangest concept.

The surgery cuts off the part of the stomach with the hunger hormones. Some say hunger comes back down the road but not with the same vengeance as pre surgery. Also, stomach acid can mimic hunger but I haven't had to deal with that.

I'm only five weeks out, but I do get very hungry sometimes. The good thing: it doesn't take much to make the feeling go away; like maybe a piece of string cheese and a SF popsicle, or a container of Triple Zero yogurt and a few almonds.

I get hungry, both head hunger and real hunger.

I've heard that with VSG and RNY the part of the stomach that produces the hunger hormone gets cut off/so much of your stomach is removed that the hunger hormones are drastically reduced. I've also heard that hunger comes back over time (stomach/hormones adjusting to the proceedure?). It seems like everyone may have a different experience.

Not that I don't think I will get hungry but supposedly you should not get hungry with Sleeve. I also hear it takes longer to loose the weight. I'm already planning my vacation and I don't even have a date yet. Lol so I just want some of this weight off .

      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.
