I am nearly 3 months post op. I have been hungry every day. I had no trouble eating. Some things were too dense, so I avoided them (chicken, pork) But cottage cheese, eggs, meatballs, Protein Drink, almost anything else went down fine. Till yesterday. Yesterday I had no hunger. Now, I know I'm not sick. I feel healthy and not ill. But the thought of food makes my stomach turn. I am only able to eat maybe a spoonful or two, and I have to quit. Do you suppose it took this long for the Grehlin to leave my system? Any ideas are appreciated.

It happens. I still have times where several days go by and I have to force myself to eat. Then there are times where I feel like I could eat all day long and I have to restrain myself. Today has been one of those days. It's just the ebb and flow of things with the sleeve :)

babbs,

That could have been written by me. Some days I forget to eat till I get a headache or some reminder. Other days I feel hungry a short while after I've had a decent meal. I'm always trying to push Water also????

Still learning even years out. I would not trade this life for anything. Life is difficult enough without the burden of many many pounds!

Thank you ladies, I appreciate the comments. I was beginning to think there was something wrong with me.

@@wannaBthinsoon I was sleeved on April 24 th 2015. I have lost only 25 pounds since the morning I came home from the hospital. (200# to 175#). Can I ask, how much have you lost since you actually had the surgery? Thanks, Lynne.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
