I think I am in sleeve shock right now, I am 6 days out and I want to eat something so bad! Thanks to this forum I know it is only head hunger but I am craving food I normally didn't care for before, I really want a big hot dog! What is wrong with me? I don't want to drink anymore broth anymore! I am not satisfied, will this change as time passes and I get to normal food? Thanks for not judging!

Yes, it will pass as long as you let it and don't give in. It's easier right now because you really can't eat anything, but once you're allowed to eat, it becomes a battle of willpower if the head hunger is still messing with you.

You can do this though. Mind over matter. Be Strong!

Hang in there! Clear liquids are hard!!!!! I feel like we should win the lottery each time we make it through a phase without cheating. I think you are strong enough to get through this! Keep coming back here for support. Nothing is better than knowing we are all struggling with the same issues, mostly around food. You will get through this!

OMG! Your post could have been mine!!! I was sleeved 8/21 and my cravings were insane! I wanted a hot dog SO badly and I HATE them! I havent had red or processed meat in over 15 years.

You'll get by....now I'm enjoying my fish & healthy food with gusto! :-)

I'm 5 weeks out n my head has not caught up with my stomach, I don't eat bad but I sometimes eat fast or something disagrees. Be careful because when u overdue it, it really becomes a mess

You can do it! What helped me so much was prayer & sugar free popcicles.

I ate sugar free Freezies and they helped me tons.mit gave me something to crunch on

Omg I am laughing so hard right now! As I stand here reading this I am looking at 3 hotdogs that were left over from my family's supper tonight thinking to my self those use to be mine, of course they are left overs now for someone to inhale in front of my face tomorrow during lunch since I can no longer have them! All I want is one bite....

My family has all ate and is now off doing their friday night things and i am Still standing here with the cabinets open and my tummy rumbling wondering whether I'm gonna have chicken broth or beef broth.

Ugh!

I am 8 days post op and my family had Taco Bell.. I so almost threw a burrito in the magic bullet... BUT I DIDN'T!!!! X-D

We will survive. It's going to be okay!!! I had some tomato soup, and I'm okay for now. Stay strong! We can do this!!!
