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

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
