This is normal and will pass. I first felt hungry all the time after surgery. And, although I would get full quickly, I’d get hungry again just as quickly. I was really worried that I wouldn’t loose enough, or that the surgery would not work for me. But soon this passed and now I’m rarely hungry. I could go all day off of a handful of almonds or a couple of slices of ham if I let myself. I have to remember to eat.

This is normal at this stage. We are not able to eat enough at each meal to keep us satisfied. I saw my dr at my 4 week mark and was told that I will feel like I am grazing at first.
Once the swelling goes down I will be able to eat just 3 meals per day and 2 healthy Snacks when needed. I feel that it is best to eat when truly hungry rather than let appetite get out of control and eat something I shouldn’t or eat too much.

Are you drinking your Water? Honestly I had a lot of head hunger, but when sticking to my water and protein...was quickly reminded, I was not physically hungry.

Greetings! I’m just shy of two weeks post-op (VSG @ mayo Clinic) and per their nutrition guide I’ve introduced low-fat creamy Soup into my diet. Not gonna lie, it’s a very welcome change since the first week.

As of today, I’m able eat about 3/4 of a coffee cup (I’m guessing volumewise it’s a little under a cup). Overall, I feel fine after eating it (i.e. - no “stuck food” feeling or anything).

Should I be able to intake/handle that much at this point in my recovery? It seems like more than I should be able to, but I imagined I’d feel gross if that was the case.

Thanks, All!
