Feeling Hungry @ 17 days post op...



Recommended Posts

I'm 17 days post op and quite often "hungry" and thinking about food. But it isn't hunger in my stomach, it's definitely in my head. And I'm also thinking about food - specifically food with a crunch as I'm on the puree stage and missing food textures. I've seen other posts where people say they have head hunger so it's probably quite normal.

Im 18 days and have no appetite for anything, not even liquids. Unfortunately it makes me quite sick, so not sure which is better, hoping it all goes away soon.

I am 17 days VSG post op, and I find myself feeling hungry and thinking about food... I was wondering if this is normal or does my carbohydrate count have this result in my body?

Thank you in advance.... 20201108_205950.jpg 20201108_205314.jpg 20201108_205240.jpg

I am 11 days post-op. I find myself having cravings and “head hunger “ as well. I’m really working on analyzing “Am I really hungry or just having a craving”. I’ve had a bad relationship with food in my adult life due to food being locked up as a child. If I don’t change how I think then I may see a therapist to help work it out.

      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.
