I'm so happy you posted this. I'm 4 weeks out and start regular foods as well next week. I thought I was thee only one that's always hungry. I'm hoping that after we start regular food we won't be as hungry.

Hi all. I am 4 weeks out today. I'm hungry all the time and I'm starting to get very upset. I take 2 pepcid a day I am on soft foods. I am getting the protein in and eating very low carb but for some reason an hour or so at we eating I'm hungry again. Do you think this will change when i go to regular foods next week? I am getting panicked. When I eat a few tablespoons and I'm stuffed but then I'm hungry. My calories are less than 900 a day, protein at least 60-70 and any carbs is coming from ricotta, shakes, cottage cheese or soft cheeses or banana. I'm confused what I'm doing wrong?

honestly I'm doing much better than I could have imagined. I can drink with no problem, eating hurts a little bit but I'm not eating as much as I should or could and then I'm hungry. I can't seem to get these shakes down anymore so I'm not really drinking the Protein shakes. So drinking is good, eating not terrible, shakes are horrible. So my fluids are great, but I know i"m not getting the protein in, also I ordered the unjury chicken, hated it, and the unjury unflavored, I TASTE IT... Hope everyone is doing well!

Thank you!! I was allowed mushy when I got home and I have been doing pretty well, but today I'm really hungry.

I am 6 days post op and I have been doing great but today I'm starving. I had a shake for bkfast, puréed lentil Soup and ricotta cheese for lunch and haven't had dinner yet. Also today I gained 3lbs. I'm getting very upset.

Have 2 shakes a day and Greek you hurt it something similar. The calories I have had for the last 3 days is about 350 a day. Is that normal?

I had my surgery wed so I am 3 days post op. Every time I eat I get this massive pain that goes up my back to my shoulders and then just passes. I can almost feel gas bubbles come up at the same time. Happens less when I'm drinking but also happens. I am on puréed foods. I feel great the rest if the time. Anyone else feel this? Thanks in advance.

Was sleeved yesterday and every-time I eat or drink something I get this massive pain up my back and sides like a big gas bubble. Anyone else have this? All I have had was some cottage cheese (our dr lets us leave the hospital on soft puréed foods)

Am ok. The gas pains are killing me, and I'm trying to walk them out. I'm drinking ok and not really eating to good but will try something later. Hope all my fellow sleeves are doing well.

Same here. The gas pains in my chest and back are torture. Feel better. My swallow test should be very soon.

Thank you. I'm a little hungry which makes me nervous and they gave Pepcid so it's not acid

I did it. I feel pretty good and they have me walking every 2 hours but the gas is still painful. It's sitting in my chest and my upper back it's almost hard to take a deep breath. But otherwise I'm good. Hope this is the worse of it. How arey fellow 4/23ers doing?

Wading to the hospital. I really can't say what I feel cause I'm kind of indifferent. I hope I will be ok. Thanks all for your support up to this point.

I'm so full of emotions today..I can't explain what I am feeling. Here is a link to my blog...makes no sense I know but it's just throwing out words as I type away...it's a way for me to vent. http://thenewme2014blog.wordpress.com/

I'm very excited for surgery on wed and then today I saw pics of flabby excess skin and it really made me sad. I know it's about health and I get it. But something about that picture made me very very sad. Oh goodness the emotions are driving me nuts.

It's human nature to think like this these are legit fears But anything can happen at any time. We have to thin positive and push through.

The 23

I do. I have a 6 year old and 3 year old it's hard. Pre op was today and all drs do it different. We will be ok. Day before counts the most.

I understand and thank you to everyone who took the time to answer. I am so thankful for this site it's a God sent. I will give this my all and not beat myself up.
