Sleeved 9/26

I was sleeved on 9/26 and I must say i feel like I'm healing pretty well. At times I feel like I didn't have the surgery.. I feel hungry almost every 1-2 hrs and I can eat smushy food.. Is this right??

You really can't trust your stomach to be telling you the truth right now. It's still recovering from the trauma of surgery. You had nerves severed and it's not able to communicate to the brain properly.

Are you allowed to eat smushy food? If not, you need to stop. If you are, just make sure you are weighing or measuring everything carefully and not exceeding your allotted limits.

For the hunger -- are you taking a PPI? Often acid mimics hunger. If you are taking a PPI, you may want to discuss a larger dose or a stronger PPI with your surgeon.

It could also be head hunger -- head hunger is telling you to eat a specific thing (pudding, jello, etc.) whereas true hunger directs you to eat anything you can even if it isn't something you ordinarily like very much.

If it is true hunger -- you may just have to white knuckle through it. As they say, hunger is unpleasant but it isn't an emergency. The most important thing is to follow your post-surgery eating plan faithfully.

It is great that you are healing well! Good luck going forward.
