Hunger Pang Hey guys I need so much help. From about my third or fourth day post op VSG I have had a battle everyday. #1 Before my surgery I have never truly experienced hunger pangs except for when I was younger. After I got older and even eaten less I did not deal with hunger pang. Since my surgery and I was able to eat purée, the first day I went to eat my food the pang/pain became so great my esophagus went into a spasm. I researched and asked my Dr’s office about this. They ask me if I’m drinking enough water, am I eating slow, am I drinking enough protein? To all their questions was ‘Yes’ I think so. Why am I’m dealing with hunger pain and it’s not head hunger because when I do eat my 4oz of food, it seem that I’m even more hungry. I drank more broth, but would be awaken at 3 or 4 AM starving. Once I was so wore out because of this I ate a little too much and I was in so discomfort I ended up falling asleep sitting to let the food digest. Has anyone experienced this? If so, what did you do?

Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for your advice. I appreciate your support.

Hello good people! Today July 3rd, 2023 I had my surgery. I’m a little disappointed. I am glad I had the surgery, but due to my pancreas was positioned wrong. The Duo Switch was turned into a Sleeves. I am now wondering was it worth it after all. My surgeon told my partner that they going to have to CAT scan on my stomach/pancreas to ensure it’s not a cancer issue. I am bombed to find out I’m in this much pain and did not get what I thought would be done. Also, for me to know that my weight loss may not be as successful as I put my mind. The surgeon may have to go back in later and work around my issue to complete the Duo Switch.😭😭 I read so many article where people had the sleeve and then had the bypass done. I just want to be healthy and happy without GERD, now I do not know what to expect. I did a lot of my research for the Duo-Switch. Anybody had total research with the sleeve ONLY? 😔

I hope that you are recovering well.

I hope and pray that you are doing better now.

I want to thank everyone for the good vibes and many awesome advice.

All the positive energy and encouragement sent this way would be greatly appreciated.

Greeting everyone! I want to know how long after the roux-en-y gastric bypass was it before you were able to return back to work? I am so excited with mix with mix feeling. More excited than anything. My surgery is July 3 rd, 2023.

@learn2cook @summerseeker @Arabesque Greeting everyone! Thanks for all you guys feedback, but I am experiencing these things pre op. I have not even had the surgery yet.

Hey guys I want to ask, you who are doing the pre op liquid diet. So you get drained being in the sun? I get dizzy and a little delirious. Anyone else experience anything like this?

I wish & pray a speedy recovery for you! Take care.

Ok guys. I have been doing pretty good. I am into daynumer13. I have until July 3, but I am noticing my breathing is changing I am just aware of. I have dizziness and feeling as if I am going to faint.The back of my neck is hurting which is also draining me. My breathing when paying attention is shallow, deep and I am holding my breath.- i can not see what I am writing so I hope this post makes sense. Have anyone experience this.

@RedE2goAimee Thank you so much for the encouragement. You are so right. The path I had before this has caused a lot of negative things in my life. This life changing event will definitely be for my good.

You right! The nurse called it “detox” which it is to get my liver down enough so that it is easier for the doc to do the surgery and better outcome for me. I had my meeting with my doc today where I asked a lot of question. He was very caring and detailed concerning my questions and what I should expect. He did release me to eat breast/wings or can of tuna in water (white meat) if I felt really famished. Thanks.
