I'm 12 days Post-Op from Band to Sleeve and I'm a lil hungry. Is anyone else experiencing or have experienced this? And is this normal?

It's not major, it's just the fact that I'm hungry this early after surgery.

I'm due to start puree foods on Monday.

Any suggestions for good healthy high Protein food items for this stage.

If so, please list them.

Thank-You

Yes, it's very normal. My hunger dropped off around 16 or 17 days, others it drops off a little bit later than that and vice versa. Through the entire process you'll get head hunger too, and acid/swollen stomach mimicking hunger... Etc. Just keep taking your antacid regularly. As far as Protein, if you get tired of Protein Shakes, perhaps get a good unflavored protein to add to your broths... Etc.

I felt hungry the day after the surgery in the hospital. I know it can be head hunger or stomach acid but it sure feels like hunger to me. Sounds like it too. The nurse told me many people feel hungry until they get to the point of getting some real food (not just liquid) in their stomachs.

Im currently 9 days post op and I am a LOT hungry! I'm hoping maybe it's just because it's the holiday season and I see all the food around that I can't have any of. Hopefully the puree stage will be a little easier.

I just started feeling hungry and I'm 9 weeks out. I get Protein and eat dense Protein meals. But every night the past few days I'm going to bed really hungry. I figure if I'm asleep, I won't be hungry then.

10 weeks. I'm always counting a week behind lol.

      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.
