Not feeling full or even hungry



Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone else has this. Surgery was on 27th may and I don't get a full feeling... But I don't get a hungry feeling either... I drink regularly because I know I need to and I only drink 3-4 oz at a time but yeah....

I was sleeved on May 15, I feel the same way. Someone mentioned on here to me that it was because the liquid mkves through the stomach faster. today was my first day on semi soft foods and I still felt the same way.

It is like that during healing. I didn't get the full signal until about 6 or 7 weeks post op. I still don't really get a hungry feeling almost 4 months out, but I believe that I'll likely change too.

That is normal when you are in the liquid stage. I am 5 months out and believe me you will feel full soon enough. Once you start eating a more normal diet, you will feel the effects of everything. You honestly do not get a hunger feeling until about the 3 to 4 th month.

It's totally normal. It took me a couple weeks to get the full feeling. Like someone else mentioned, once you are on a more normal diet, you'll feel it.

I am three days post-op and I feel like I am starving! I think I had read somewhere that the gas (which is pretty awful) can mimic the hunger pangs. I am trying very hard to follow post-op directives. Any advice? I have no problem drinking the 6 oz Protein shakes. I have had 2 today. Off-times I have Water. I had broth for dinner.

Eat Jello, it has substance and will make u feel full. Also try ice pops. Increase your Water intake and for the gas pain keep moving around. Remember your body is also coming off high amounts of sugar and carbohydrates. Try those two substances it will help alot. Try beef broth that will cause a filling sensation because it has a higher fat substance in it. Also keep your mind occupied because it can be boredom making you hungry too. If u can take Vitamins take them because they will really help your body. I hope this helps. If u need anything else let me know.

Thanks for the Jello suggestion. I'll try a little Fage yogurt today.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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.
