hey everyone,

I'm new my name is Sarah and I'm 23 years old. I got the gastric sleeve procedure done last Friday and I have been STARVING every day, except the day after surgery. I'm 250 lbs I've lost 16 lbs since surgery but this hunger is killing me.. I have not felt full once. I did start eating yogurt today and I had chicken noodle Soup and baby food (i know it was early..) and still no feeling of fullness. What would happen if i ate real food right now? This is not what i was expecting at all.. i didnt think i was going to be so hungry, it's making this impossible! I'm kind of regretting it.. i just want to eat.:thumbup: if anyone has any advice id really appreciate it! thank you

Hi sayray

don't panic yet. Its pretty normal to be hungry in the begining. I was sooo hungry on liquids. Once you are on solid foods everything will even out and you'll have restriction. When I was on liquids I just felt like my body wasn't getting any nourishment.

That being said.... FOLLOW YOUR DOCS INSTRUCTIONS.... its hard but so worth it int the end to have a good outcome. Once I was cleared for full liquids I pureed stuff so that my body could get what it needed....

The most satisfying thing I ate was

1/2 baked sweet potato

1/4 c. milk

1 scoop chiken flavored powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein

Blended till liquid.

Hang in there.... its a hard road at first... but you'll be feeling great and satisfied before you know it.

take care
