Mmm... yes you should be less hungry !! Actually it's hard to explain. I thought I was hungry , but then when I would drink my, I would quickly get full.

Why? Why? Lol. I'm on Clear Liquids for another 2 days, then on to full liquids. I am so hungry. No interest in the chicken stock- it tastes gross to me now. Sometimes I get miso down ok. Drinking Water and popsicles. Sometimes juice. Shouldn't I be less hungry post-op?

I am now 20 days post op and for the first 2 weeks I was hungry all the time. I would wake up feeling like I was starving to death. It was real hunger and not head hunger and it didn't go away by drinking. Actually I never felt full even once during my first 2 weeks. Then I moved to puree foods and now I feel much better. I still get hungry but it is natural hunger. I now wake up feeling fine and eat Breakfast then I get hungry a few hours later when it is time for the next meal. I also now get very full on puree food but it doesn't last for a long time unless I eat too much.

I am in the same situation as you!! I'm one week out and always hungry. I have been so discouraged. I spoke with my NUT today and she said to add two scoops of Protein powder to 8 oz of milk. That has been a game changer!! I finally felt what full felt like. Good luck!!

Ouch! This is what I'm afraid of! Maybe wear a ummmm... one of those medical mask things while cooking?

I guess it's good habit reinforcement bc if I'm going to change my eating habits, I'll still be making meals for my child. I've got to learn not to graze off her plate. That's one of my waiting issues

      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.
