i am reading how ppl throw up how ppl have no appetite. i have not thrown up yet and i am 5 weeks out. i eat every 2-3 hrs and trust me by hour 2 its like i never ate. im thinking also im not eating enough after dinner i can go 3 hrs before im hungry but all other meals im hungry. plus i stop eating after that first uncomfortable feeling so maybe im not feeling up my stomach. is anyone else like me>

SO HAPPY hunger is now under control now i can go 3 hrs before being hungry so so so good

newgrandmother how are you getting so much protein, I barely getting enough and trying to keep up with my water intake. Could you please share so that I can follow your lead:) Thank You.

Geez, i was glad to get rid of the band and go to the sleeve because all i did with the band was throw up. So happy that i am almost a month out and haven't had the urge to vomit even once.

However, i am also finding i am more hungry than i expected to be. Having to fight through that.

i eat cottege cheese tuna greek yogart and you wouldnt believe what has protien. are you on fitness pal or fitclick if not get on there so you can see whatyou are taken in

Is there supposed to be a progression when adding solids (like when introduced to babies)' date=' one food added so you can tell what caused a negative reaction, if any? Or does everyone just try a bit if everything all at once-not really knowing which food the stomach wants to reject? Ive always had sensitive digestion so for me, I'm going to have add items slowly, not what I want to do, but looks like I'll have to if I don't want to feel sick or vomit! [/quote']

Yes. My doctor did just that for me. I have to progress from liquids to puree to muchies to soft food to solids by introducing specific solids every week. Its like 6 diff solids I can add a week. I have a list of exactly what to eat. I have to pay attention to how I react (my sleeve) so I can see what she likes and doesnt like.

I'm terrifed of having this surgery between the severity of hair loss to never being able to eat normally or have ones favorite foods, the throwing up diarrhea..OMG!! My consultation is November 21 here in NYC where I live. God Bless all of you for getting this surgery and i wish you all an abundance of blessings with your success. I hope I can do the same IF i decide to get it done.

mighty mo you will be fine. we dont dump like a rny patient. i have not thrown up yet so im one of few. you will be eating normal by 2 months after surgery just smaller amounts. the sleeve controls you you no longer have that food control.

thank you for you input SleeveMaster:)

Actually, I think we do dump on certain foods. It happened to me 3 times on higher fat foods, more so between 1-3 months out. Not at all now that I am out 4 months. Do others experience the fainting, the feeling like you are in space, loud ringing in the ears, rapid heart beat, indigestion and more?

Yup, i had a dumping episode just yesterday after making an unwise food choice. Dizzy, light headed, fast pulse, clammy skin, and digestive tract very unhappy. It all cleared once i passed the offending food, which didn't take long.

i never said we didnt i said we dont like rny patients. there are cases where there is dumping but not as frequant as rny patients.

butterbean last i checked you didnt have a phd so dont tell me what i should be doing. and being your age you would be focused on what you think and write to ppl. nobody on here is perfect if they were they wouldnt be here including you.

i went through kaiser and on thier menu its 2 oz protien 1/4 cup carb and 1/4 cup veggie. the carb is rice potato sweet potato etc the veggies are whatever i want. ive known me for 47 years and been on so many diets i know the diffearn!ce between head and regular hunger.

thank you everyone else for your positve feed back.

I think she was just offering advice! We are all here to help each other, right? As with any advice, "eat the fish and spit out the bones", meaning we are all free to follow or disregard what seems to be a good fit for us...

no head hunger here its all stomach grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. its like it just empties out quickly

Are you taking PPI like Prilosec? If not, that will help. Likely acid and not hunger.

life is a journey, not a destination; so, stop running -H.D. THEROUX

I'm taking Nexium, and i still feel hungry quite often. I'm kind of sad, i was hoping that the hunger would go away with this surgery.
