I don't know. I am wondering the same thing. Supposedly our ghrelin production is less so we won't feel hunger. However, I am pretty hungry except right after I eat. Then I am hungry like two hours later. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I know, I was starving the day after surgery. I don't understand how we can be hungry with 85% of our stomach cut out. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't been weighing it out. I did buy a measuring cup to measure out 1/2 a cup. I am hoping once I start dense protein I won't be so hungry all the time and I can keep my calories low. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Thats a good question.

Hello, I just saw my dietitian and my surgeon for my two week follow up. The surgeon said that he uses the same measuring device for all his patients, so my sleeve should be the same size as my wife's. He said I may have had less swelling than her and that is why I was able to drink more right after surgery. He told me that I need to be taking my supplements and hitting my water and protein goals. My dietitian said I should be consuming only 1000 calories per day. He said I should only have half a cup of food when I eat. I have been taking in about 1500-2000 calories per day. 1000 seems like too little and very hard to hit. He said I should expect to lose about 1.5 pound per week. That also seems very slow.

I see a psychologist, there is no shame in it. He has helped me alot. We have begun addressing my food addiction. Like others have said, don't beat yourself up too much. That will only make you want to eat more. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

You were recently sleeved right? Wasn't it just a few months ago? I understand emotional eating but you have to get control. Do you have a support group? Do you see a counselor or therapist? Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

That is amazing. You look fantastic.

Hi, I am 17 days out. Good luck tomorrow. I hope everything goes well. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah, I am going to. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I see my surgeon tomorrow, I am always hungry. My stomach actually growls. It was my understanding that the surgery would remove the ghrelin and I wouldn't feel as hungry. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

My wife was sleeved 10 weeks ago. She wants to jam all the time. She is hornier than when we were newly weds. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am sorry you are having a hard time. This journey is not easy. I can relate to the emotional problems. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, make sure you are walking. Blood clots need to be taken seriously. Get up and move, no matter the pain. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Mine was outpatient. I actually handled it really well. Have you had abdominal surgery before? Maybe you had a lot of scar tissue? Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I suffer from Major Depressive Disorder. It has been hard without comfort food. My wife said I look Grey. I am tired and hungry. But I still do not regret the surgery. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

It is going to be a rough week or so, then it will get better. I am 15 days out and feeling good physically. Not so great mentally. The first week was by far the worst. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

That has been the hardest part for me, the emotional side. I thought I had prepared myself for life post surgery and I was wrong. It has been much harder than I anticipated. I am in recovery and do not drink or drug anymore been sober 10 years. Food was the last thing I could abuse. Now it is gone and I can't abuse it anymore. It has been very hard. However, my body does feel alot better just with the 35 pounds I have lost. Only 175 pounds more to go. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes ma'am, I am pretty hardcore. All kidding aside, I didn't want to come back. But I work for a bunch of assholes and didn't want to miss too much time. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

It's weird, I could drink water no problem the day after surgery. My wife could hardly take in water after surgery. I had no issues. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I haven't measured anything. But I know it is too much. I need to order a digital scale. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I am definitely eating too much. I need to weigh my food. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

I suffer from OCD and I can't stop obsessing that my doctor messed up on my sleeve and made it too big. He did my wife's sleeve and I swear mine is bigger. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app

Hey, I want in on this. I want new people to talk to. Not on Instagram, or Facebook or Twitter though. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal mobile app
