I hear people saying they have to remind themselves to eat. I've been starving since surgery. What the heck is going on? I wake up in the middle of the night starving. Is anyone else going through this. If this is how it is for me then I feel like I've made a huge mistake.

It's been two since I had my surgery and once I was 1 month opt I begin to be hungry all the time I will eat my portion of food drink a Protein shake and within the next 30 minutes I'm right back hungry so I kinda feel you and wonder did I make a big mistake.

I would wake in the night and feel a"hunger" although not the same hunger feeling I had pre sleeve.

I'm not sure what feelings you are having whether it's hunger or not. My hunger is a hollow feeling in the bottom of my throat and I know it's hunger cause I only eat every 4 hours. If u are having liquids which it sounds like u are it doesn't stay in your stomach but passes through very quickly. When you get to the solids stage it will change!!...

Oh I hope so. I'm even scared I might accidentally wake up in the middle of the night half asleep and take a bite out of something. I thought that hunger nerve was cut or something. I mean this is just ridiculous. I can't wait for the green light so I can have a spoonful of refried Beans.

Not sure what re fried Beans are?.. but they don't sound nice lol

Hunger nerves aren't cut lol.. they take out a part of your stomach that make some of the hunger hormone " ghrelin"

So in some people he hunger is non existent, some it remains but very little.

As I said the liquid stage it very different to the solids stage of real food lol

I was hungry....soooooo hungry after surgery! I feel ur pain. I suffered until my 3wk post op visit with surgeon. I too asked "Respectfully dude...wtf?!? Doc...I thought this whole thing was to kill hunger! Im hungry! Why am i hungry? "

He smiles & shakes his head... He said the surgery isn't going to take away my hunger but to teach me how to control myself. I left that appt thinking i had messed up getting this surgery.

Fast forward to week 10. I still get hungry, but with the stomach pouch being so small a tiny bit gets the hunger gone. Im still sometimes making my meal plates (a saucer) too full (greed! Especially if its good) but the sleeve shuts all that madness DOWN in 3.2 bites...

It's feeling like a mistake now...but when you get used to this sleeve, your mind & life changes. The transition from "Living 2 Eat" - to - "Eating 2 Live" has made me face some real sh#t about myself, my motivations in life...but imma survive & win & u will too. You did NOT make a mistake New-Sleevers.... but you did make a difficult decision & it takes heart. Stay the course, it's worth it.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
