So tell me are still hungry after have sleeve Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I had surgery almost a month a go. I do not feel hunger. I have had some "head hunger" where I just want to eat but that passes with drinking Water or eating a SF Popsicle. I LOVE that I can only eat 1/4 cup or less of food at mealtime. :)

I am 4 months out. I do get hungry. Starving, sometimes. But it's all over in about 6 bites.:-)

I didn't get hungry for about the first nine months after surgery but I do get hungry now. As long as I eat the right things to satiate the hunger -- meat and green veggies - it is very easy to just eat a little and the hunger goes away.

Ditto to bufflehead. I had No appetite first 3-4 months. Hunger definitely kicked in about 7-8 months, but Protein and veggies fill me up pretty quick. Head hunger and old cravings started about 10 months, but so far so good at satisfying those with healthy options.

i also had no appetite for about 3 months post op...then one day it showed back up!

the good thing, like others have said is that it takes about 5-6 bites and it's all good. i LOVE that.

i have also found that because my eating schedule was set to every 2-3 hours after surgery, i find myself needing to 'feed' about every 2 hours on que!~

I'm a 2-3 hour feeder, too. Have been from the beginning. Really no distinction between meals and Snacks.

You'll probably have a small window of a few months to get the new eating habits down pat. Learning to both want and enjoy eating healthy foods. Add in a few new snack ideas, like almonds and Jerky and you should be good for the long haul later on.

I'm not gonna blow smoke up your a$$.......it does get tough, so you have to as well. Hold on tightly to every pound lost and don't slide back into old habits. Your new eating habits will see you thru. ;)

I had my surgery just 5 days ago. Initially I felt a little hungry since I am still on liquid diet. But it's not too much, and I can survive. It is clearly old habits coming back, since I normally feel that only when I am alone at night...

I'm not sure if I'm hungry or not. I'm 5 days out today and was released on full liquids, but haven't really been exercising those options. I've been having a lot of stomach cramps, especially when drinking. I wonder if that's just what hungry feels like right now, because after a tablespoon of yogurt (on the "okay" list), the cramping stopped.

I'm probably a little too early to give you a solid answer, but I don't really get hungry. I'm 2 weeks post-op, so thats probably more normal. I get these little bursts of hunger that I think are more like rumbles in my stomach than anything, but they go away quickly so I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
