I need advise. I have a big concern. I had surgery a week ago and everyday I feel hungry, specially on the evenings. I am in full liquids stage. What happened with what I heard and read about not been hungry after the surgery?

There is no guarantee that you'll not feel hungry. No surgery promises that. A small percentage of folks end up not feeling hunger at all, but most do, just a different levels of intensity.

I started feeling hungry again at 4 days post op. A friend of mine didn’t experience hunger until 2 months post op. Everyone is different.

I’m 7 days post op and I THOUGHT I was feeling hunger but it’s definitely Head hunger kicking in- which I was told can feel very similar. Even after I drink Protein I still crave my old snack foods... but I realize that I don’t need them and that I just think that I do. The “hungry feeling” eventually goes away once I rationalize with myself.

Hello I understand. I'm a week post-op today sleeve surgery. If your doctor allowed pureed vegetables, cream Soups, grits creamy add a little chicken bouillon crumbles for flavoring or shrimp bouillon crumbles for flavoring. Dannon OikosTriple Zero vanilla Yogurt 15 grams of Protein zero added sugar 0 artificial sweeteners zero fat. Not a fan of artificial sweeteners but if I have to go with one Stevia is the best one on the market. sugar-free Jell-O and pudding have aspartame and all that stuff so much chemicals and crap that I've seen documentaries on so I try to do it with stevia only and that's hard too. I also drink tea, Orgain clean Protein Shakes their really good there 20 grams of Protein. Protein help my Hunger.

Hang in there best wishes to you

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
