Wondering if anyone experienced hungrier immediately after having the sleeve to the points liquids were not filling you up? I have a friend approximately 5 days out and she is hungry. I don't understand because I haven't gotten hungry really at all and I'm 3 mos. July 16th.

Ria I think what you're friend is experiencing is totally normal. From reading a lot on here when I was Having that issue, it seems not everyone loses their hunger. Sounds like your friend is with us 'unfortunate' people in this one. It should get a lot better for her as time goes on though..I'm 3.5 weeks out and don't have that problem anymore now that I'm on puréed/mashed/soft foods Tell her to hang in there!

Thanks all. I just don't know how to support her because my experience was and is very different. She's started eating soft foods without being released from the doctor. What can I do to support her.

I was only not hungry for the first few weeks post surgery. I definitely still get hungry. And I didn't lose my sweet tooth either. That just means I am going to have to be dilligent in my logging and exercising to make sure I don't try to outfox my sleeve.

Wow, I thought everyone loss the sweet tooth and the hunger. I want to support her but I don't know how too because I didn't experience the hunger or cravings. For me food sometimes become a chore... I have to eat. I'm still struggling getting everything in. How can I support her?

It's very concerning that she's eating solids without being cleared to do that. 5 days seems very risky to do that. I don't know how "tough love" you feel you can be with her but maybe you need to have her research the risks--I'm sure she doesn't want to have to go back to the hospital--and remind her the "rules" are set for safety essentially. I had a friend who went out for pizza and beer when he was supposed to be on liquids post-op, and the pizza got stuck and they had to open him back up. Well that has stayed with me and scared me into compliance. You're a good friend, it's awesome of you to be trying to help her.

One suggestion I would have to keep her on track is to keep trying different things to drink, Soups etc trying to find some she really likes, and which ones are more filling than others. For example-- thick Tomato or cheese soups as opposed to more liquidy soups. Also when I drink Fit Frappe shake mix with milk, it's really thick and satisfying.

Hermina that does NOT sound like enough. Are you sure? --who is your doctor?--cause that sounds very unusual. Why don't you get 3 meals? I was sleeved 6/18 and I would be miserable if I got what you get. well you have come to the right place--you will get help and get through this.

Is she taking a ppi? Many have excess acid that mimics hunger.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
