I only break my 4 meals/day routine occasionally, and that is to have a few nuts. So those days are 850 calorie days. B)

No solids for me for awhile. :(

I’m sitting in my surgeons office parking lot right now! [emoji23] I gave up with the WTF? and decided to drive down here today.

I called my office and they said that being hungry in the first month was definitely a possibility and happens. (I’m on less than 200 Calories a day). She said that I just have to get through this month so my stomach can heal. When I start eating real food I will be satisfied. I am choosing to view hunger as sign of serious weight loss. In related news, I lost 3 lbs yesterday. [emoji23]

Hello: I was starving for 2 weeks post sleeve. Thankfully, my hunger decreased drastically after. I'm now slightly vulnerable to hunger sparked by smells, commercials, etc. I combat the "sparked" hunger with sipping Water, broth or sugar free popsicles. Looking for more interesting popsicle recipes.

Thank you Christie! That’s so good to hear! I’m making some of my meals Peanut Butter now to get a few more calories and because it sticks in my stomach more. Feeling a bit better today. My plan has me at about 250 cals a day and yesterday I got it up to about 350 and felt better.

VSG done5/10/18. 4 days out and I’m hungry. No, it’s not head hunger. I’m getting my fluids and Protein. I do have to eat slowly, but it’s not a problem for me to finish off 10oz of broth in 30 minutes. I didn’t have problems with fluids from the moment I woke up and I was walking within an hour of being moved from recovery to my room.
My plan says to increase calories and Protein by 100/10g per day until I hit 800 calories and 75-90g of protein. On day three I had 400 calories and 40 protein.
I see my surgeon on Tuesday morning and plan to ask about this, but in the meantime, is it normal to be hungry so soon? I just see that most people struggle with Fluid, protein, nausea, pain ect when I had basically none of that.
I do have to eat slowly or I get that lovely chest pain and I do feel full on small amounts, but I’m hungry within an hour. Am I weird? Should I worry?
Any input would be great! Thanks as always you lovely people! [emoji4]

My best guess is stomach acid. Are you on Prilosec?

Yes I am. Now I’m having the opposite problem. I haven’t been able to keep anything down today. I’m not nauseous, but every sip of everything feels like it gets stuck in my chest and I slime until I barf up the sip of whatever I just tried. Is this a warning sign of a possible stricture? I’m only 6 days out and have had no problems until today.

I'm not sure, call your support team and ask them ASAP. Hopefully it's just a temporary experience for you.

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

        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
