6 days post-op, and HUNGRY

Hi guys, I wanted to write this topic here and see if anyone is experiencing the same thing, or have some advice....

Some background info: I was sleeved last Friday.

Day 1: Nausea, barely getting ice chips in

Day 2: Nausea, no ice chips, just a few sips of Water

Day 3: Nausea, a few sips of water and 3tbsp of clear chicken broth

Day 4: Litte to No Nausea :rolleyes: , some more broth, ice chips, water, all fine, but gas & back pain

Day 5: No nausea, ice chips, water, ½ of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup serving, more water, still gas & back pain

Day 6: Same as day 5, however, a bit different--- what I wanted to write about:

SO here is my problem today, day 6… I’m able to have water, some unjury chicken soup, some ice chips, but when I do, I get a feeling that I’m so full, it almost HURTS, so I stop… but 5 minutes later, I feel like I’m STARVING… So I try one spoon of soup, and I get that feeling again that I’m full and need to stop… And again, less than 5 minutes later, I feel empty again, I feel like I’m STARVING again! What’s going on? Am I simply mistaking the hunger feeling for something else? Maybe gas? Or something? Or am I really supposed to just have one teaspoon of something every 5 minutes to not be hungry? :mellow: I just don’t know my stomach anymore…

This is about the time you panic because you see how little your sleeve is taking in....And you are still seeing things in bigger sizes.....Keep it light, your just at the beginning....

Head hunger is a horrible thing but we all get it..

And your right it could be gas or any number of natural occurrences with your new sleeve...Just keep eating a little at a time....This will pass! it's all good!!!

Thanks! I will.

Also man people say that it is easy to confuse acid in the stomach with hunger. My doctor prescribed a liquid antacid 3x day for one month. If u r not taking one might be a good idea to try...
