When did you get hungry?



Recommended Posts

I'm 3 days post op and haven't felt hungry yet. I've been drinking a lot of Water to stay hydrated and drink a little chicken broth - but I was wondering when everyone else started to feel hunger?

I had the band surgery, and I started feeling hungry like 6 days post op. Make sure you keep hydrated, sip on some water or fat free milk or crystal lite

I had surgery on Tuesday and am not hungry but have horrible headache

Take some children's Tylenol and try to sleep. I had that last week like 3 days post op.

Today is my 7 month "Surgiversary" and I still don't feel hungry in the old sense of the word like I used to. I feel like I want to eat something because it sounds yummy, or I get shaky and headachy when I have gone too long without eating so I know I am hungry. But without the hunger hormone Grehlin anymore, I don't have that gnawing hunger that used to drive me to eat (and caused me to become so overweight). Now, I find that I can plan my meals, make healthy choices, and eat sensibly. When I was at your stage, I got really tired and bored of just drinking liquids pretty quickly and wanted something solid, so when I could have soft foods, I was super excited! My first foods were an over easy egg, cottage cheese, and greek yogurt. And they were delish :) Good luck on your journey!

8 weeks post-op and don't feel hungry like I used to. I started feeling like maybe I should eat something at 3 weeks out but really don't get hungry the same way. Usually when I do feel it I am really just thirsty and Water takes care of it. Good luck!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
