Will the sleeve really help me with hunger control?



Recommended Posts

Hubby and are both sleeved and we do not experience true hunger ever! (I'm 7 months post-op and hubby is almost 3 months out.) I agree with Tiffy...food is still appealing and of course head-hunger. But the absence of true hunger is such a wonderful gift...love it.

I know of several sleevers who still experience true hunger, so it's not a 100% guarantee that you will lose it. GOOD LUCK!

I do not have hunger and I used to be one of those eat till I am stuffed and still be hungry type of person. I now eat healthy food choices to make sure I get in my required Proteins, carbs and fats. Before surgery I had problems with certain foods and so far I still have the same problems (tells me it is intestinal and not my stomach). Plus I have gained a few sensitivites as in when I try sugary things my stomach gets very uncomfortable queezy. So I just avoid them. Same goes for chips ( I tried some at a party awhile back) they went down but my tummy got very queezy so I will avoid those as well. The head hunger is sometimes present but mostly I forget I have to eat until I start feeling this "empty" feeling. Then I make sure I get something in me.

Hope the sleeve resolves your hunger as I have heard a small percentage of the sleevers still have hunger.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
