Yes' date=' I've had her twice and I get so hungry I could bite a baby. I don't but I could. Also, I find that I retain Water so much more now (drinking barely 60 oz) than I did pre-op (drinking over 100 oz).[/quote']

Yep:( I'm 6 mo post op and every month like clockwork I get hungrier a few days before. I try to bump up my Protein and have found that helps some- but I allow myself a bit of dark chocolate which really keeps the cravings at bay. My dietitian told me it was ok to add a few calories at that time but to drop back after.

Ahhh the cravings. And the Water retaining. I gain 1-3 lbs that week. And then all the sudden I drop like 5 -6the next week. Weird. But I have noticed that pattern.

Thank you so much for posting this. The covered are ridiculous and what certainly feels like real hunger!

I just realized this today. I looked back last month and noticed a calorie increase for that week and then a calorie decrease. I figuared out the pattern now and it matches the time of month. I don't crave un healthy foods, I just get hungry more often. I'm happy to know I'm not the only one.

I get cravings around ovulation and right before my period. I eat around 1200-1600 cals so I have plenty of wiggle room to fit in some sweets. With this calorie range I'm finding it easier not to abandon my diet during these times of heightened hunger.

Goodness, I feel like I was eating all day yesterday but of course I am still on full liquids so I know I really wasn't. I'm just glad Aunt Flo didn't make me as hungry as I used to get pre op. I also gained about 1/2 lb but I know it is Water weight. There are just some things that the sleeve doesn't help I guess so I will have to manage it on my own. Good luck ladies!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!
