I had the sleeve also on Monday 5/12 and feeling fantastic but I'm getting very hungry and getting worried also.. I have an appt on Tuesday with surgeon and that is my first question I will be answering... stay strong,.

I am 3 days out and woke up this morning feeling ravenous!!!! I wonder if this is normal?!

I am almost a week out trm. My surgery was 5/12. And i am SOOOO HUNGRY! I am worried as well. I almost was doubting that i made the right decision about this life change. But we just gotta stick to it and keep our eye on the prize.❤️ We r all in this togather ????

I'm on my third day out...I had a moment of ravenous hunger earlier, but a little sip of water and the rumblies in the tumbly calmed down. Most of my hunger pangs are fairly transitory and don't last past moving around a bit or having a few sips of liquid (I'm on clear liquids for another few days)

How about it, veteran sleevers? Any words of wisdom on feeling super hungry a few days out? I'd like to hear!

Me too! I had mine on the 12th and I am hungry today! So if we are all feeling it must be normal. And remember even when we can eat we can only hold a 1/2 cup!

i was sleeved on the 12th at northwestern in chicago and I have not wanted or craved any food, I thought I would want or crave something but I haven't, I even watched food network and didn't feel a thing, I even made pizza for my family and still felt nothing, I'm still on liquids I haven't tried puréed food yet but might try refried beans tonight,

Drink some water.

Just sleeved on 4/14/14 felt the same way super hungry the first few days... Started to regret it lol but I was just having a hunger fit it will go away soon.... Sipping on water lil by lil helps. On solids now but now I'm scare to eat.... That's my problem now.......

I was banded on the 12th and the Hunger is real....Converted to full liquids yesterday and tried pureed Soup and Protein shake and only could do a few sips of both. Today I actually ate a few bites of strawberries and laughing cow cheese.....My tummy ached a little PRETTY much with anything (cramping feeling)but I feel better... SCARED I am going to mess this up but being prayerful and hoping I can do my very best, Best wishes everyone

Today is my 7th day and I am hungry...I think we are suppose to be hungry ....I nibbled on some solid food today and my stomach cramped like crazy as it does with anything. However hoping I don't mess this up lol

I had my sleeve done may 12 2014 and I'm not hungry but mentaly I want a hand burger bad food smells so good I'm kinda feeling like maybe I made mistake I never realized how important food was to me I really love it but I'm down 21 pounds in my frist week so that helps I'm still on clear liqids

I was sleeved May 12th and I have not been hungry, so I'm surprised at everyone saying they are hungry, is it head hunger....I cannot see being banded or sleeved and try to eat solid foods that's sad to me, why even go thru all this in the first place...eating mess and cheating is what got us to the point of wanting to get surgery......just don't understand but to each it's own, also people saying just because they can't have food that they think they made a mistake kills me, I feel the mistakes is what got us all here....ijs....no shade

Considering you are lucky and not feeling the hunger, you're being a little judgemental towards people who express how they are feeling. I was sleeved on the 13th and I too have questioned my decision because of the hunger and wanting to eat with my family and be satiated. These are very real feelings and if you were feeling the hunger pangs some of us have admitted to feeling- you wouldn't be as quick to judge. This is more of a mental struggle than a physical one and it can be BRUTAL.
