is anyone not hungry after having gastric sleeve surgery



Recommended Posts

I am 8 months out now, and have just recently had hunger poking it's head up again. It's not constant, and it's not often, but if I go 4-5 hours without eating my belly lets me know, it's nothing like it was before surgery though.

I occasionally get what I thought was hunger, but really my body was signaling that I needed to drink more fluids.

I'm almost 7 months out, and I do get hungry. It's not like before, and it's certainly manageable. It also doesn't take much to satisfy it. I think I'm more like a normal person now, with fairly normal eating habits. I do love it! Some days I just feel like eating, and I have to battle that. It's not hunger, it's years of bad habits, reaction to stress, etc.

I'm more or less the same as MichiganChic. I did go a very long time, though, when I really just was never hungry. Now, six months out I often wake up hungry. But it's certainly manageable. I feel normal.

Head hunger, that enemy of all of us, came back at around four months. Like physical hunger, it's manageable and easier to squash.

I'm not hungry until around noon each day, but them I'm hungry the rest of the day!

This is true for me so I was waiting too long between eating and it was causing nausea when my stomach filled up with air. So I eat a bite or two every hour or two.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
