3 Days Post Op... Eyes Are Hungry



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on Tuesday. I only had ice chips and liquid Lortab for 2 days. Started eating and drinking clear fluids yesterday. Realized I wasn't satisfied today. I'm thinking this is when the shock has settled in for me. Overall physically I'm feeling ok, but emotionally and psychologically I'm unsettled. It's as if my mind doesn't want to let go of food but my stomach is just not interested. I know it will take many moons for my mind to catch up but what do I do in the meantime. I'm realizing that food has been a sport and a hobby for me!

Just keep reading these boards. You will soon realize that you are not giving up food forever! You will eventually get to eat alot of the things you loved in the past, just the way you eat them and the quantities will change. :D

I had the same exact issues. I totally understand. I struggled a lot in the first few months due to head hunger. But it gets easier as the grehlin hunger hormone gets out of your system. And as your body doesn't let you overeat anymore it becomes less of a draw and you do lose interest more and more. I never thought that it was possible for that to happen to me of all people but it does work!

I lost all interest from the start but I did do a good preop diet that broke me from caffeine n carbs. But trust me if your eyes make you over eat the sleeve will just punch you in the gut and you WILL eject it from your system. And trust me lol its very easy to do. Wait till u start eating pureed food or fish like me. I am on week 4 and tuna steaks and guacamole are my staple everyday. One bite to fast and I lose it all.

Fyi. Tonight. At 9pm I started a 3oz tuna steak with 2 teaspoons of guacamole. It took me till 10:45pm to eat it all. If I would attempt to go faster hahaha. It would have hit the eject button.

Try and cope with head hunger now cause if you turn out like me its gonna become more of a pain in the butt to eat than enjoyment

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
