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!

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! :-)

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.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
