I had my surgery on March 24th and I can safely say I have been super hungry ever since. I am on a liquid diet (including thinned cream of wheat and thinned soup) for another week and a half. Please tell me it gets better

Welcome to head-hunger! Try to feel your tummy. It will probably say "no thanks, I've had enough!". BUT your head just can't wrap itself around that! Use the search feature in the upper right hand corner to find the many posts about this subject, and if you have more questions, don't forget to ask!

Yep, I drank so much flavored Water I spent half my day in the restroom, lol! Those little packets of Instant Lipton Cream of chicken soup were my saving grace on full liquids... Make it with 4 oz of water and add a scoop of unflavored Protein powder. I also got egg drop Soup from a local restaurant.... very satisfying.

If it is any consolation, it gets dramatically better when you get to purees/soft foods, that is when my hunger stopped.

It gets better. Really, truly it does. Hang in there!

I also got egg drop soup today and strained everything out! It was good ????

I was sleeved on 3/30/15 and my hunger has returned. I was able to reason around the hunger because I know how painful it would be to even try. Also, I MUST trust the process and surgery. food will be there for me soon in 3 meals of 4oz. I'm relying on "Eating to live not living to eat." Old habits suck.
