It might be stomach acid - they should have you on a proton pump inhibitor already but check to make sure (and especially make sure they have you on one when you go home). It could also be "head hunger". The surgery fixes the stomach...the brain can take awhile to catch up [emoji4]

I had something earlier and a patch behind my ear. He prescribed Omneprezerole (spelling) for when I go home.

My husband was sleeved in April this year and said that he thought he was hungry for a day after the surgery. But by the end of the first day home, he didn't feel that way. He believes that it was "in his head" that he needed food. He wasn't really hungry.

Just his experience. Hope this helps. 😃

I asked the nurse, she thinks so too. My brain knows I havent eaten for the last week, so I SHOULD be hungry. It stinks because I feel like I'm STARVING!

Today has actually been HARDER! I had my first real nausea episode, it was fast but bad. I'm having problems with Water, Only getting popsicles in. I hope it gets better. I'm ALREADY having a little buyers remorse!

Did you take big sips? Maybe that's why you got sick? Not going to lie that's my potential deal breaker w the surgery. So nervous. I hope you feel better!

I hope you're feeling at least a little better now.

My hubs had a similar experience with the nausea after surgery. And his first night home he wondered if he'd made the best decision. By his second night home, he was feeling much better.

Two months out, his only regret is not doing it sooner.

Sending you prayers and wishes for comfort and fast healing!

It's only happened twice, and I feel it when it's coming on. I have to find SOMETHING I can drink, I don't want to go back to the hosp for dehydration

I was (or thought I was) pretty hungry the first two weeks. Once I started on purée it changed. I rarely feel actual hunger now but when I do feel it I am super hungry, like I gotta eat right now hungry.
Usually things improve and the buyers remorse fades away. Hope you feel better.

I can't wait for it to go away. I feel good physically, no pain at all. I am a little light headed and afraid of getting nauseaus, so I am not drinking as much as I shpuld be, although, the Crystal light is DEFINITELY going down easier than Water. Did u feel light headed in the first few days?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
