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 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.
