jaytissle55 180 Posted January 15, 2020 I was very hungry in the first 2 weeks after surgery but at about week 4 when I was allowed to go back to the gym my hunger decreased about 90% and since then I have good days and some days that are so so!!!!!!! Overall, this has been a great process for me and I wake up each day with a fight in my eyes that tells me that I never want to go back to the days of overeating and having health issues due to eating whatever I want and whenever I want to.... It is a process and you will find what works for you in this process... So just stay the course and follow the instructions from your healthcare team.... Also, major key for me was you have to want this process to work and fight everyday to make it work for you... Good luck to you and keep us posted... 2 1 1 Uomograsso, lisafrommassachusetts, glannin and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
justmetj 421 Posted January 15, 2020 I was really hungry while on the clear and full liquid stage after surgery but once I moved on to solid food I lost a lot of that hunger. Now, sometimes, I have to force myself to eat. It will get better 🤗 1 Uomograsso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ Tylo 1,399 Posted January 15, 2020 Are you hungry or is it in your head? Search here for Head hunger! I know it sounds stupid but it is a real thing 1 Uomograsso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GradyCat 3,696 Posted January 15, 2020 It's more than likely head hunger. Even now one year post-op I rarely, if ever, feel "hungry" but my head hunger triggers me to eat sometimes. 1 Uomograsso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sammi_Katt 303 Posted January 15, 2020 I occasionally feel stomach hungry, but it's usually because I haven't been sipping enough Water or getting enough Protein. I'm still on my clear liquids stage, so I hear you about being tired of them. Hang in there. A lot of it is probably head hunger too- you're used to eating, and your head is yelling at you that you need food even though your body doesn't. I'm still working on figuring out between the two, so I know it's difficult to tell sometimes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

breavsg 90 Posted January 15, 2020 Why am I still hungry guys? Five days post op- pain still there. Swallowing just fine. Tired of Clear Liquids. [emoji30] Oh man, I'm right there with you. 7 days post op and my head is playing some crazy games! Today I was able to get more Protein in than previous days and it definitely did seem to help. Also completely sick of liquids with one more week to go...Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-J327AZ using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
