So I am just 3 weeks post sleeve and I feel like I am starving!! I thought the hunger didn't come back for quite some time! It is real hunger...I have had some head hunger too, but this is real body needs food hunger! HELP! Not supposed to start pureed foods until next week, but I have cheated a little and had some pudding and yogurt.

Hi Nicky

pudding and yogurt are not cheats, not at 3 weeks out as far as I know. So you are doing fine. Those are considered full liquids.

Are you on any kind of acid reducer? This might be the reason your stomach feels hungry. I take Omeprazole daily, even this far out from surgery. I have tried to stop taking it but my acid is still there. It is what it is! I just deal with it, it sure is a lot better than still being close to 300 Lbs.

One last thing, perhaps give your surgeon's office a phone call and ask if he has an alternate eating plan. Some people really do heal faster than others and usually the dietician or the surgeon will allow patients to move through the stages a little faster.

Good luck!!

Thanks for the input! I see my surgeon on Tues so we will talk about it then...in the meantime, I am going to have some yogurt! And yes, I take pepcid, but I was supposed to take it twice a day and have only been taking it once, maybe I should step it up!
