Ok I have a weird one. I'm four days post-op and I swear my stomach is having hunger pains. It only happens to me once in the middle of the night and it feels just like a hunger pain used to but with out the rolling feeling (does that make sense?) I wake up feed my pouch some Protein shake and then it's like (he,she,it?) is happy and we are all good again?? What is this? Does this last? Anyone else have to feed the beast in the middle of the night or do I just have a diva pouch?

Yes. I had the same thing happen to me right after surgery. I was actually hungry for a while, until I got onto solid foods and it got better.

It'll get better once you hit solid foods. Hang in there! :)

I thought it had something to do with the gas pains, but I had it too! It got better on puréed foods

@@fallenfeatherstudio - I'm PO day 10 and I also have hunger pain. But mine are all day long :(

It's a real bummer. I'm looking forward to more substantial food (puree etc) because I really hope that will stop the hunger.

Personally, it doesn't matter right now if it's "head hunger" or "true hunger" ... they feel exactly the same to me.

I hope you overcome this soon, OP!

@@Lulu_RNY I'm having the exact opposite :/ I'm not hungry in the least! Today my two year old brought me three chocolate chip Cookies and any other time previous to this I would have eaten them all. Even if I wasn't hungry. It was weird. I held them and didn't even care. I wasn't concerned or wanting for them at all? I don't know if it's psychosomatic or not but hey I'll take 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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
