@@Meggiesmom .. I need more reassurance. .. I am now 12 days post op.. on puréed diet and am still hungry!! I feel like every person I talk to says "I can't eat an egg.. I don't want to eat.. I'm never hungry" I am so scared that this is not working for me at all. !

Hang in there @@karen.del. i am 15 days postop and finally starting to feel a bit better. Nausea and gas pains gone now. I still get cravings but once i eat and full it goes away. Are you eating 4 oz every 4 hours?

@@Meggiesmom,

I think that's probably the greatest benefit so far for me, that the sleeve has physically altered my cravings. I really don't have cravings anymore, for anything. I get hungry, but not at all like I used to. Now I get hungry when my body genuinely needs fuel. And I naturally want to eat body pleasing Proteins and things that make me feel good.

I was really worried the first couple weeks post op, craving fast food burgers and crap. Then, at week three, those cravings vanished. It's. a great feeling, very liberating!!!

I also was hungry for the first 2 weeks but now its so much better. Once I could eat soft food, mashed potatoes and gravy, eggs, cottage cheese, I was satisfied and all the hunger went away once I could eat solid food.

I was really hungry the first few days, less now. Good to know this is normal as I had read that reducing the stomach size would reduce hunger.

I admit now that it could have been emotional hunger due to all the post op pain. I was waking up at night and thinking about cheeseburgers.

Man I'm glad to read this, I just hit puree stage and I've been hungry all of the time too. Even at this stage, it's fortunately improving but not satisfactory. I eat a scrambled egg in the morning and I'm stuffed before finishing it but in one hour, I. Easy for food.

If I eat Soup, I can also eat a yogurt.. or if I eat s tuns pouch. I need something else too like cottage cheese and then I freak out thinking omg, I'm eating to much food. The scale isn't moving bc I'm eating to much.

When I walk around for exercise. Omg I'm hungry... I think it's the lack of carbs I'm not used to?? And yet not enough Protein bc not at the stage yet

So far, I can eat anything too ...not helping!

St night i feel hungry and maybe it's emotionally driven buy i feel my stomach... I often have a yogurt

Popsicles are my lifesaver!!

Anyways. I was thinking of posting about this but worried about being judged so I feel relieved to have discovered this thread

Thank you!! I'm 5 days post op and I'm hungry I think. My stomach feels weird and gurgles and I think I feel hunger in the center of my chest. My menu plan does not include jell-o does anyone know why It's not allowed on the full liquid diet phase? I know things will get better and I do feel stupid for complaining.

I would ask your nut about this bc my plan includes everything from liquids to purees. I can't imagine what would be wrong with sugar free Jello . I can't eat it but I can make my own with plain gellitain , stevia and true lime or lemon!! I haven't tried to yet but plan to! Anyways, if you love jello and it's not on the menu, definitely ask!

That's not hunger - it's just your stomach and body figuring out what the hell just happened. I sounded like Chewbacca was in my stomach. That reduces but I don't think it goes away completely - and has nothing to do with being full.

      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.
