Ya, I think its normal. Its only been a few days. Have you had your first BM yet? Remember, even though you're only putting in clear fluids, you've got a baby stomach & a whole new digestion system. Think of how much newborn's bellies gurgle lol. Plus your body is still detoxing from the anesthesia & pain meds

I had my surgery October 23, so I'm currently 9 days post op. Feel great (other than still being a bit weak/tired) but I'm hungry ALL the time!! The Nut said we wouldnt have any hunger so I'm perplexed! Also, I can eat up to a cup of cream soup or a whole yogurt at regular rate & have no probs. Have even gulped my protein shake (by accident, wasn't paying attention) & nothing happened. I dont go back to hospital til end of Nov

I'm in Toronto & had surgery October 23, 2013

I Didnt know at first, because the app is called BariatricPal (no mention of it being sleeve specific). But I think most of the same principles apply & I haven't found a similar forum for bypass folks

I had the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

I have the opposite problem. I am hungry all the time & worry that something is wrong I'm craving everything I smell others eating & I would kill for some meat or eggs. I worry that I may hurt my stomach if I try pureed meat too early thi

Hey BerryChic, we had the same surgery day! I had RnY on the 23rd. 2wks full liquids started the 25th when I got out if hospital. I can't wait til thus Fri Nov 8th when pureed starts. I am starving ALL the time!! I need meat! I've had no problems tolerating anything so far. I've even chugged my protein shakes (by accident; old habits) & had no reaction

Wow. Only 600 cals max per day at 1 month post op?? Seems really really low

I'm a week post-op (RnY) & kind of have the opposite worries. As a big curvy girl I had no lack of suitors & many of them were not happy about my choice to have surgery lol. BUT most of those guys were only interested in hooking up; NOT in having a relationship But for me, it was about being healthy & being able to be active & enjoy life again. But now I worry if I'll get the same amount of attention as a smaller woman? I'm hoping so. And hoping that I'll attract men that would be happy to have me as a partner also outside of the bedroom.
