I had a successful sleeve surgery 4 days ago on 1-18-17 but have been having hunger pains. It's very discouraging as this was one of the reasons I had the surgery. Is this common, has anyone else experienced this?

Hi -

I also thought I was having hunger pangs but it turns out that acid reflux or indigestion or the like often feels like a growling stomach to me (and others, as my dr. told me.) I was given a prescription for pepcid and it worked to eliminate those hunger like feelings.

I was hungry the day after surgery and it has stuck. I was nervous and discouraged too. I couldn't really get full either. I didn't over eat ever, but I felt like I was eating too much. However, I went to my 3 week follow up and I was 25 pounds down! The doctor said he would have been happy with 15 pounds. Just work through it and get your Water in. You got this!

I had my sleeve done on 1/19/2017. I am on Pepcid and it sounds like my stomach is eating itself. The noise it makes! I'm back on the shakes starting today, hoping that helps!

      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.
