i was hungry for two weeks after my surgery.. maybe a little more. i wasnt eatting food. just drinking fluids and shakes. i was starving! but once i introduced my new stomach to pureed foods and then eventually solids, now the hunger for me is gone.

Also remember that often hunger is not hunger but stomach acid very common issue After surgery I went on medication and the hunger stopped as it was not hunger but acid

although what shell was saying above is correct, even after i was on medicication for stomach acid, i was still hungry. but it went away. and thats awesome though.. 60 pounds!! everyone has their own journey.. youll reach your goals eventually :)

      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.
