I was sleeved on August 19 and have been doing fabulous up until today!!! My head hunger is in full effect! I am going absolutely crazy today, I am so damn tired of drinking....I just want to crunch/eat something. It makes me cringe thinking I have another 8 days! How are you all doing, and do you have any tips???

I was sleeved August 20th. Head hunger started yesterday for me... I am interested to hear what others suggest.

So glad to see you post this I am exactly the same and had op on the same day. I am feeling like I want to eat. I am on 4 weeks full liquid diet. I don't know if I can cope ( I have no choice but to cope tho) Do you feel like your body needs some kind of nourishment? That's the feeling I am getting

I'm in the same boat. Not sure exactly what you guys are approved for, but I'm allowed greek yogurt and unsweetened applesauce. That helped a little bit today. I also got a cookbook of smoothies so that I can mix it up a little bit. Looking forward to what others say.... Let's hang in there!

I don't feel like I am lacking nourishment...I just want to put something in my mouth and chew!

I have been told I am allowed full liquids with no bits in. So that's anything that would tip out of a glass or bowl, nothing like yogurt or custard. I am in the Uk so don't have access to all the protein supplants that you do in the US. I am trying something called Complan if you have heard of that, it is meant to be nourishing and used after periods of illness that's going down ok

S/F Jello, S/F popsicles (I ate reg, shh, don't tell!), restaurant Soup (STRAINED), ice chips. Don't get full on this stuff, you don't want to put too much pressure on your sleeve. Anything that you can see through in a melted or natural state is up for grabs!

I drank the chocolate Premier shakes with the permission of my surgeon, the more Protein you consume the less your hungry.

Happy sipping!

I felt the same after my surgery to . I was sleeved August 8th .. It lasted about 6 days it was like I was withdrawing from a major addiction... I did the sugar free popsicles and sucked on a few sugar free hard candies ! That helped a little ! The head hunger and food cravings has finally gotten better ! It just took time ! Hang in there !

Sleeved Aug 20th and my mother is here cooking for the kids. I can't begin to tell you how good her food smells. Mmm Mmm Mmm yummy for my tummy! But my cream of wheat has never tasted better! Lol I drink the atkins chocolate protein shake, sf pudding,apple sauce,jello. Not really thinking about food until I smell it cooking. I got my eye on the prize and that's bring here for the long run for my kids!

I have found the greatest Protein shake! I have no head hunger at all, sleeved 8/12. Down 12.4lbs.

Muscletech 100% whey isolate plus from SAMs

1 scoop can be mixed with milk or Water and has

30grams of protein

Less than 1 gram of sugar

9 grams of carbs

160 calories

You can freeze it to slushiness to chew it of needed.

I have found that chewing crushed ice helps with the whole chewing need (no I'm not anemic, lol).

Hi all! Sleeved 8/20. First post op appointment today and down 9 pounds! Very excited!

Hope all of you are doing well!!

I was sleeved on Aug 21st after having the lap band removed. Had my first post op appt today and I'm down exactly 15lbs. It's great motivation to get me through the next week of all liquid diet. I'm excited about soon adding yogurt to the mix. Crossed fingers its tolerated well.

I had the same issues. I had the head hunger until i was finally able to chew in something. I was sleeved on the 15th of August. I weighted 3 days before my surgery and am down a total of 33lbs since the 12th of August. It does get better.
