QUOTE="Carol1560"]Girl,

There is no way you are hungry. It was hard for me too!

I was hungry a few days after surgery and at six and a half weeks I am STILL hungry. Yes it's a true hunger NOT head hunger and I checked with my nutritionist and surgeon and it happens. I even doubted my sleeve up until yesterday big time since I seemed to have no restriction and could eat so much! Well yesterday I went out to Celebrate my best friends birthday. Long story short, I now believe the sleeve restricts lol! Though it felt horrible I don't regret it because I feel better knowing that though I will never be one of those 3 spoonfuls and I'm full people I can't pig out add I used to! To the poster of this string..I felt crappy dissed and angry till four weeks out when I could stay eating real foods again. Now at over six weeks where I can eat almost everything I feel better. I can't eat as much as I used to but all the food I've re-introduced have been tolerated :-) hand in there..it gets better! I doubted it too :-)

It always goes back to the old saying " we always want what we cant have" somehow some way you have to find another way to overcome this way of thinking. It can be done, look at how many people have succeeded with this surgery so far.

When you get to some more 'normal' foods it will all start to seem doable again. Like an earlier poster scrambled eggs made my day/week/month. Baked beans' date=' chicken casserole, bolognaise sauce all good too and nice and soft - with my dr ok after 4 weeks.

I really like Soup so am lucky with that. I bought some lovely Thai Soups and added natural (no flavour) Protein powder to those.

Time will keep on passing and you'll experience lots of changes with it. With a bit of luck your 'new normal' will be much like your old one, but with smaller portion sizes. That's not too hard to live with.[/quote']

G'Day, Something for me to look forward to I'm being sleeved Friday at NYU can't wait :) I'm on my liquid hell right now :( never thought I would look forward to baked Beans Lol I would love a burger to go with that !! Hope your doing ok down under :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
