Today's the first day I'm not nauseous, pain is tolerable, and feel pretty good. Issue is, as of Saturday I'm constantly starving. Wtf. Only reason for these surgeries are to allow us to eat a reduced calorie set and not feel hungry, hence weight loss. I have taken my antacids, got my protein minimums and fluid minimums. Even after finishing a feeding I am still starving. If it's this "head" hunger then what's the difference, body is still sending a starving signal so sure feels like I'm hungry as all get out. All I keep thinking of is how I ate a lot better and lost rapid weight on the preop diet and I should have just not had the surgery and stuck to that. Sigh. Just finished a jello and will try and have some more broth. But not satiated in between feedings

Sprocket, me, too! There were all kinds of crazy feelings and sounds in my tummy at first! It was similar to hunger but it wasn't. I think it was just my stomach dealing with the surgery. It went away before too long.

@@nprcowboy Hang in there! I'm only a few days farther along than you, but when I was researching the surgery, I read the forums for months, and noticed that no one more than 6 weeks out ever had anything negative to say / regrets about surgery.

I am still struggling at 3 weeks out and learning how to eat with a sleeve. I don't regret it, but I do have some pretty horrible moments. I'm hoping that by 6 weeks, I'll have the hang of it and be feeling better.

I'm having more hunger than I expected, too. I think it's mostly head hunger, and drinking Water helps (while also helping me get my 64 oz in.

I'm sorry you're struggling. Talk to your doctor, give it time, and good luck!
