Why do I feel hungry??

[hanoon 0]

I had my op on 1/4 and I’m craving foods and feeling hungry.. is it all in my head?

I think this notion of "it's just head hunger" after bariatric surgery is total BS. You're starving your body. Of course you're going to be hungry! You're not feeding yourself. Your body is very literally going into starvation. Yes...you're HUNGRY.

I don't know who decided that you're not supposed to be hungry after surgery, but I sure as heck was.

When I started eating 1000 balanced calories a day two weeks after surgery, I wasn't hungry anymore:)

I’ve been struggling with the same thing!! I’m just trying to take it one day at a time....eventually it has to get better.

I had mine on 1/3 and up until today, I wasn’t hungry at all. Couldn’t get my liquids in either. And then all of a sudden I’m drinking easily, 2 shakes a day, & Jello wasn’t cutting it. I felt hungry. I had 4oz of an extra Protein Shake and that took care of it for me. For now. I’m on Clear Liquids for 10 more days, followed by 1 week of full liquids, and then 3 month of mushies. I just have to get to the mushies.
