When was your surgery? I read recently that sleeve patients should max at 900 calories for the rest of their life. I do know we are to drink then wait 30 min., eat until full but don't go over a cup, drink after 30 min., eat again 2 hrs or so later if getting hungry. I need to follow those rules myself. I would wait until I'm full then stop then work on finishing my plate when I had room again. That's not 2 hrs. My Dr has me at 60g of Protein a day, since Day 1 of my surgery. We both need to stick to the rules. Our stomach can't handle more than a cup of anything inside it.

I lost alot. Then after time, I could see short hairs above my forehead. My combs and brushes still grab a lot. I have used shampoos and supplements that are supposed to help. I'm probably not getting enough Protein again. Lack of protein is the cause. I am almost 2yrs post-sleeve-op.

Are you taking your Vitamins every day? There's nothing you can do about the normal amount of Hair loss from surgery and weight loss, but not taking the prescribed vitamins can make it worse. Hope it gets better!

I'm 5 months out and still have more days than not, that I am not hungry and will force myself to eat a little something or drink a Protein Shake. And when I am hungry now, it is nothing like it was before surgery. It may be a slight hunger pang in my belly, then if I ignore it, it goes away...before surgery, the hunger only would intensify.
I enjoy not having food control my thoughts throughout the day. I know the true hunger will come back. Hopefully, I will have vanquished the "head" hunger for good before that happens! Good Luck to you!

I was the same (even at 3 weeks). I just ate the recommended small servings and focused on getting Water and Protein in. Your appetite will return but enjoy this period where you're not hungry. It will never be easier to lose weight!

There were a few days in those first few weeks when I just did not feel like eating, but I tried to get my Protein (shakes) & Water in the best I could. Once I started soft foods, there were some meals where I only ate a bite or 2. Once you are healed further from the surgery and can eat a variety of foods, it should get better.
Good luck, I hope things improve for you.

I tried My Fitness Pal but it costs $20 per month & will not allow me to go below 1460 based on parameters it asked me to enter. How do you get it to allow you to put in your own calorie intake?
