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 her...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.

. first of all thanks for your reply, but I'm not being judge mental at all, I stated if you read my post was it head hunger and not actual hunger, I also read a post where 7 days out someone ate solid food I SAID I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHY someone would risk eating so soon, and they are real feelings and I'm not knocking them I just stated my feelings that I'm not hungry, and I have every right to say I don't understand why people would feel they made a mistake do to not eating, we all have learned that over time we will feel normal again and enjoy the foods we love and this shit is mental trust me I battle wondering will I enjoy some of my favs again so i get it, in my experience I'm just not hungry that's all damn...I also said NO SHADE which means I'm not trying to be funny I just don't UNDERSTAND and I have the right to feel how I want to sweetie so pls don't come for me unless you read my post clearly, I think your just hungry and taking your frustrations out on me, so please back off and have a cup of broth, I JUDGE no one, don't beat me up because I'm not having hunger pangs or did you mean pains....relax sweetie and read my post again

Luckly I spoke to my doctor today and he approved for me to have creamed purreed foods .... Not sure what everyone else doctor is doing but do what works for you...When your body go from 2k to less than 800 a day you should feel some change ...If not its clearly something wrong. However at the end of the day you will slip some because we are all human and YES I AM 7DAYS OUT .......I WILL NOT COMMENT ON THIS JUDGEMENTAL SITE AGAIN...I WILLL SIMPLE READ AND laugh

I had one loud gurgle that I thought was hunger...but a few sips of Water later and I was fine (I'm five days out, and really not having hunger issues) Everyone's body is different, and it is completely possible to not be hungry on clear.

However at the end of the day you will slip some because we are all human

Sorry, I really disagree with this statement. I've worked very hard to stay on target and not mess up. I want this to work, not get back in the same boat I'm in the process of climbing out of.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
