Hi, I had the sleeve on December 10, 2010 at about 12 noon....Dr Hawasili, from Eastside Suregeons, at St John Hospital in Detroit Michigan. My first thought on waking up in pain was "Why the H** did I even Think this was a good idea?" But everyday with less pain, and able to do more so that is not an issue anymore.

I just stumbled upon this site and I am looking forward to learning more and sharing. My husband had sleeve on November 12 -- he is doing very well and tells me he is not hungry. We have several friends at our church who have had sleeve, adn one has had the full by-pass. This is a helpful support group.

I need help! I am hungry! No-not my stomach, my head. I am following doctor's orders and as of yesterday started logging what I eat, when, so I don't under or over eat...nothing too crazy. I made a column on the left at half hour itme intervals, then I just write something like 1/3 cup Protein drink, or 1/2 cup Soup. I take my time and literally a 1/2 cup of clear liquid soup may take me an hour to eat. But I want more and I wan to chew!

Please, please tell me this will go away! Anyone who experienced similar and can help me get over this would be a God-send. I was looking forward to not being hungry as a way to help through this, so I am also sad. It seems like it is harder than I thought it would be.

Thanks!

Hello and Welcome!

I was sleeved Nov. 8th and by my 3rd week I had alot of head hunger. I know this is hard, for you but the head hunger will pass. When I have extreme head hunger I find some busy work to do around the house ie polish my nails, pull out my sewing machine or go for a walk at the mall looking at the the smaller clothing stores which helps me focus on why I had this surgery in the first place. I promise the head hunger will pass and you also have someting I do not have you're blessed with a husband who has gone through this and can give you support. My husband supports me, but does not understand head hunger at all he Snacks all day long which is the reason that I sometimes go the mall. I hope this helps

Hi, I am four months out and still have head hunger now and then. I can tell you it does get easier once you are able to start soft foods.
