Hey everyone,

9 months post up, had gallstones so bad and one got stuck in my bile duct...had 2 procedures and had my gallbladder removed. Was in the hospital for 7 days. Finally home and can eat but holy crap I feel like a zombie and need to eat everything. I eat and get hungry instantly. Wtf is going on?? Anyone experience this constant hunger after having gallbladder removed as a WLS patient?

Does this go away?

Did you gain weight after?

How are you dealing with it?

Please let me know!!

I'm not sure this will be helpful, as I had my gallbladder out decades before the bariatric surgery, but I don't recall any particular hunger issues associated with the surgery. I had gained weight; I continued to gain weight, but I think that was more to do with eating the wrong things and not exercising at all, basically.

I'd suggest giving yourself a week or two to stabilize, but if it continues to be an issue, consult your doctor and nutritionist.

How long have you been out of the hospital?

The whole not eating much before/after surgery and being around disgusting hospital food for a week could have you starving and your body just trying to catch up.

If it was a month ago or something well that's a very different story

I wouldn't be too worried at that point sounds like rebound hunger to me

      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
