3 days post op starving!

[Grateful_Love 114]

..I was sleeved march 3rd. So four days ago.

Since then I have been able to hit 75mg of Protein through shakes and I'm averaging about 60oz of Water.

I don't feel full, or stuffed and feel like I could just keep drinking. I do have to take it slow. But I'm scared I didn't do something right or that I've already stretched my sleeve out or..something.

Will I feel the restriction later on?

Have I done something terrible already?

@@Grateful_Love - No some people just need to hit that purees/soft foods stage before they feel full. Some people never feel full. My advice is follow you doctor/nutritionist serving size suggestion and stop. Don't depend on that full sensation, especially early on.

I was starving the first few weeks, then it went away. I was scared I had done the surgery for nothing... Just give it some time.

Hi all. I was hungry right after surgery as well. I was told it was stomach acid. I never had acid issues before so I didn't take the Prilosec that was prescribed. When I complained about hunger 2 weeks after surgery my doctor advised to start taking it. It worked.

7 mths out now and I rarely get HUNGRY now .....but I do get hungry...... Hang in there, your body is still adjusting to everything. It gets way better!
