Hi everyone I was sleeved on March 14. So far things have been pretty good. I've been shopping and went to Walmart to get some walking in. I still can't kick this hunger thing. I know that I can't eat physically but my mind is teling me I'm so hungry. I'm still on my liquids diet and I hope that this will get easier!

It will get easier!!! Just take it one day at a time! Today is my 3 week mark, and I feel soo much better Hanf in there!!!

I had my surgery 3/13 and my pain has been manageable. Mild incision pain, occassional stomach or gas pain. I didn't eat much the first two days, just 150 cc total. Starting today it seems I am famished! I'm wondering if I'm the only big butt that the sleeve isn't going to work for. I know that gherlin remains in the system a while post op but I'm going crazy. I'm limiting my portions out of fear I will burst something and not necessarily out of a strong sense of feeling full. I'm doing only liquids at 4 days out but I feel like I could go for a cheeseburger and fries! I'm trying to get my fluids and protein in but mentally I'm wanting a full meal. What's wrong with me!!!!

You're doing a bit better than me. I had my surgery on 3/15 and haven't left the house since I got home from the hospital yesterday. I'm definitely not having hunger pains. Too many other pains to distract from hunger I guess. Good luck to you and hang in there.

niahri, there is nothing wrong with you. this process is every bit as mentally challenging as physically challenging. I am 5 days PO and I have had a lot of the same feelings you have had. I have had mental breakdowns over the past few days wanting a slice of pizza or a bowl of cereal! My daughter's birthday is today and she chose to celebrate at Cici's Pizza buffet. Oh boy, this is gonna be tough for me! you have to keep pushing on and remind yourself that this is for your health. You WILL be able to enjoy a cheeseburger/fry meal a few months off, just in a much smaller portion. Look at it that way. your body isn't ready to deal with that now. Sadly my body isn't ready to deal with pizza and it won't be ready by this afternoon either! I feel your pain!
