I'm 3 months out and I am also hungry every 2 - 3 hours. I'm going to the doctor Thursday and will ask about this. As a result of being hungry, I snack and am not losing much.

I was craving a burger too so I tried to eat a small one cooked on the grill. It hurt, craving gone and I haven't wanted another one since! So, I would eat it and don't worry about it.

Wow! You look great!!! Congrats!!

I thought I was dying until the 3rd day. . . my husband wouldn't even leave the hospital because I was in so much pain. They gave me morphine so hang in there. It gets better. Walking helped alot! I walked all the time!

I have surgery 5 weeks ago and started having stomach pain/cramping yesterday. I am still hurting today and can't eat much at all. Should I be concerned?? Thanks, Carol

Is that the foam and bubbles in the back of your throat?

I ate some chocolate and got very sick. I tried a small bite of a cupcake and had the same reaction. My sleeve must not like sweets.

I order mine from Newlifestylediet.com I really like the peanut and chocolate bars.

I am five weeks today and had my first Protein bar this morning because I hate the shakes and they make me feel bad too. I ate the Diet Protein to Go bar and it was good and has 15g of protein and 18g of carbs and is 160 calories. I don't know if that is good or not but it tasted better than the shake. Carol

I was sleeved on 3/12 too and have lost 24 pounds! I feel good but I am still trying to figure out what to eat on the run. I can always grab something from the refrigerator. I don't want to eat fast food so I am having a little trouble with that.

No requirements. I was self pay.

Lori at his office is terrific!! Please tell them that Carol Riney told you to call. Everything for me has been great. They really care and it shows. He calls on nights and weekends and is so nice. Best decision I ever made!!

Call Dr DeWitt. He is great and I had my surgery fast and he has a lot of experience.

It has ended! I lost two pounds this morning. So excited!!

Glad to hear this. At two weeks, I stalled and have been stalled for 8 days! I am so frustrated and was beginning to think I just wasted $13,000!! I appreciate everyone's response. I have hope now.

I am 16 days post-op and I still get hungry. I am hoping that as I can add chicken, fish and eggs to my diet (more protein) that this will go away. I get full easily but two hours later I feel like I am starving!

I had surgery 12 days ago and I ran fever. I had tests done and had no leak. The doctors said it is normal after surgery for some people and shallow breathing can contribute to it. Tylenol in addition to the pain meds helped with that.

Me too!

After many tests and a ct scan, they found nothing. They can't explain the pain and say the fever is just from surgery. I am going to take more pain meds, try to drink more, and rest and recover. It is very frustrating. I just want the pain to go away.

I had surgery on 3/12 and I can only drink about 20 oz a day and can only eat about 2 - 3 teaspoons of mashed potatoes. I have felt awful since surgery but they can't find what's wrong.

I started running a fever of 99.8 so I text my surgeon. He said to call his office this morning and schedule a CT scan. Now I am really worried.

I am going to call first thing in the morning. I will keep you posted. Thanks for all the advice. It is very comforting.

Ok good. I don't have fever or throwing up. I just can't eat or drink much.

Should I call tonight or do you think it's ok to wait until morning? He is on vacation so I hate to bother him unless it is an emergency.

And laying in bed hurts worse. This is a nightmare!
