    Hey spoke with the doc, I was told that this stage is normal, even though it's not showing up on the scale but its showing on the body in inches. Plus he also said that the body is still trying to figure out what is going on. Continue to drink liquids and eating that protein I'm good and to stop worrying

    I totally understand, my surgery was on the 13th of June and I too could not understand why I was so hungry. I'm more hungrierthan I have ever been in my life, but it will eventually go away as you are able to eat food, I still growl, I just wanna feel normal again.

    Awww I hope you feel better, I have had any headaches. I've had the shakes because of lack of food and that could be it I find myself trying to find what has more protein in it just to make sure I'm getting enough of it

    I totally agree. I did the same thing I was so hungry and I was only 4 days out I went to the Chinese restaurant and ordered me some egg drop soup and that gave me life, I was able to chew the very soft eggs as well as sip the broth. Nothing taste the same, I started before my doc put me on it. And I'm doing better and still losing weight. I'm eating canned salmon and canned chicken with light mayo what a big difference it makes. The only have issues in getting the 56 ounces of liquid down I get up by 6 am to start drinking any liquid and finish by 11 pm its so hard because sugar free stuff do not taste good to me anymore.

    Hi Pamela, I'm so sorry that you're feeling that way but I understand, I had my sleeve on the 13th. I was feeling weak and fatigued as well, I had no pain only from gas I was making myself get out yes I drove because I didn't have a choice. And once I got me some egg drop soup and when I aye that after straining the eggs out that food made me feel like a brand new person. It will get better for you just don't give up push that devil off your shoulder and tell him not today. You got this.

    I guess everyone's is different, I had my sleeve on the 13th and the 14th my doctor started me on Stage 2, I'm able to particially lay on my sides without anytime of pain, I have to have protein 3 x's a day 3 to 4 ounces at a time along with jello, and or broth, since surgery, everything taste disgusting to me, I have to force myself to eat especially the protein shakes, I hoping on Thursday that I get to try an egg. I hope I still like eggs. I just can't understand why the hunger pains are so intense. I just wanna get through this and get back to normal. If that's even a thing anymore ?.
