FEELING HUNGRY

Ok, I was sleeved August 14th, surgery went well. I went back to work on August 26th and I've been starving. Or could it be I'm thirsty. Which ever...my stomach is growling. Anyone dealing with this so early on?

I was hungry early out. Make sure you are drinking at least your 64 oz and also sometimes acid mimics hunger. If you're not taking a PPI, maybe talk to your Dr about starting on one.

I still get hungry at 11 weeks, so I know how frustrating it can be. I've gotten used to my stomach noises and even now, my male coworker and I laugh about it. It always starts in quiet meetings.

Im 9 days post op, sleeved on aug 20th and I get the grumbling all the time, i eat a bowl of crushed ice and it seems to help, its almost like its just a mental thing :)

I get the grumbling too, I think its a constant thing because of the sleeve, I dont feel hungry at all, I have a few friends a couple of yrs post op and they all say acid and thirst do mimic hunger, so get your fluids in if you can.

I jumped three times trying to figure out the sleeve. I'm on pureed foods and I think I'm not getting in enough protein.

I don't get hungry but then I eat protein 6 times a day every 3 hrs or so hitting 90g total.
