the first 2 weeks after surgery were fine...I lost 23 lbs......now I am in my 3rd week and I am hungry all the time and have gained 2 lbs back....the ounce of food 3 times a day and protein drinks and water don't get me full. I have that rumbling in my tummy saying feed me.....and it is not in my head....although I do get a headache if I don't eat something.....I don't understand why, I thought that hungry feeling would go away atleast for a little while....even after I eat I feel hungry...I am worried that something else is wrong.....could I have a leak or something worse?? What am I doing wrong? I shouldn't feel like I am hungry especially right after I eat....

I don't get hungry I am 3 weeks post op GBS I can finally enjoy water a little more but I have to try and get some food in

The first three weeks(food) are NOT FUN. I felt hungry all the time too. When you get to the next food stage it will be better. Drink LOTS of sf fluids.

I never feel hungry since my surgery' date=' its still so strange.

Pre 404lbs

Now 177lbs

That's amazing that you've lost so much wait. How long has it been since the surgey?

8/24/2010 I had bypass, 30 days later I had complications and passed 2 units of blood, then had 120 days of slow recovery from blood deficient enimia. I wouldn't change anything, it made me respect my tiny tummy that much more!

I had surgery on May 2. I never get the hungry or full feeling. I just force my aelf to eat a little. I cant even eat a whole egg. I started on puree a week ago and am gaining instead of losing. I am discourged and frustrated right now.

I had my surgery 8/24/2010 and still never feel hungery or full, I see it as a blessing. Food no longer controls my life.

All the best to you!

I'm doing better but yes' date=' I am hungry....I am able to eat 1.5 oz of protein and fruits and veggies now so I had a slice of pinapple this morning and one this afternoon and that helped allot. I have lost more weight, a total of 27 lbs as of Monday. I think I was sick with a cold before and that is why I thought I felt hungry when really it was a stomach virus....I am better now except I have always got migraines and I seem to have to take a migraine pill every day (normally around 4 or 5:00 in the afternoon) and I think that is from being tired and hungry....yes, this diet is very hard, but we can do it! I had my surgery on 4/18 so I am 4 weeks out today. When was your surgery and how are you doing?[/quote']

You don't seem to be eating enough protein. You should be eating 3-4 oz per meal. Could be why you're hungry. Have you tried protein shakes? Ensure High Protein has 25 grams & are pretty good. I would add more protein & see what happens. I also lose more when I've eaten all my meals & not skipped. My surgery was May 1 & I'm down 19 lbs. just starting to exercise.
