I just had the sleeve on the 11th. I'm not sure how to tell if I am hungry or not. How do I know?

At this early I didnt feel hunger I just tried to get all of my Protein in. Later you will get an empty feeling. I usually just try to eat every 3 to 4 hours just to keep my blood sugar levels up. The beauty of the surgery is that it takes most of that hungry feeling away.

I had mine the 13yh and am getting hunger pains. The nurse told me I'm not consuming enough calories or sugar. I've been only eating sugar free jello, broth and tea/water. I had a 4oz ice with sugar today and the hunger pains disappeared.

Great question! I was sleeved on the 9th, Cant wait to start Phase III.

I've noticed everyone is different in how their tummy's let them know when they are full. I get a funny sensation across the top of my tummy that lets me know it's full. It's kind of a heavy feeling. If I ignore this sensation & take another bite or two then I am miserable for an hour or two. So not worth it!!

I'm 4 months out and it takes some getting used to. I don't get hunger pains and/or the signals of 'hunger' like I did pre-op but I have learned to listen to my body now. First I always try and eat on a schedule (3 meals/day plus 1 small morning snack) but on days when I get too busy and forget and/or I am expending a lot more energy it will catch up to me. Typically I will catch myself getting super irritated, catch myself yawning a lot (even though I'm not tired) or I just don't feel right (woozy, grumpy etc) and I KNOW I need to eat something or in some cases drink some Water.

Just pay attention to your body, it will tell you what it wants/needs and don't skip meals
