Why I am soo hungry lately almost a month post-op I guess Ill call my NUT feeling down because I havent lost more weight

Are you eating enough of the right foods? Protein?

That is one of my issues I was sick from the proteins surgeon told me to stop them for a while I started today had one in the morning and like an hour later my stomach was hurting Like hunger I was like are you serious I am def having a tough time and sugar free stuff makes me sick is crazy I will buy more premier to see if I can handle it but I have tried so many different ones I am so stressed out about it I feel like this surgery is not working for me I guess is just a moment I am having thursday will be a month..

Me too! I am hungry two hours after eating. Protein drinks don't kill those pangs. A spoonful or two of cottage cheese helps. Mostly I drink water to get the full feeling but sometimes that makes me nauseated. I get full fast, don't get me wrong. I just really wish I wasn't hungry!!

Omg me too I get fullfast but I tried drinking water and get nauseas and sick is really hard to understand this small sleeve and what my body wants I am just stressed out and worried all of my struggles and the long wait and hardwork dont get me no where I really need to go to those support groups but I have eye surgery coming up next week and I am soooo overwhelmed I wish people around me could understand me more........

I had the same sort of thing going on at 1 month...I was like "I thought this was supposed to kill my hunger". For me, it turned out to be "head hunger". I had spent the last 15 years managing stress through eating and the stress was still there and was triggering the hunger in my head. For me, this was the critical function that the sleeve performed for me, I can not eat to relieve the stress. After about month 3, the head hunger mostly has stopped and now I have to almost remind myself to eat sometimes. Hopefully this will be your experience as well.

Head hunger is the perfect name! I work in my parents Italian food market....cooking, baking, chopping, stirring, all kinds of food for 8 hours a day. I don't get hungry like this at work when I'm busy, focused or happily chatting w people. It's when I'm in the car, at home, feeling bored, watching tv, lying in bed.... Head hunger strikes!!

I think I need to visit my NUT but she doesnt tell me much I already know my six month visit with her were pointless because the hospital changed NUTs 3 times.

Ylluz - I'm sorry to hear that you are so hungry. I hope it gets better for you. I do find that I am much less hungry if I eat a denser Protein. I don't know if you can tolerate that, but I'm hoping that once your body adjusts and you can eat more things that you will feel fuller. Don't give up! It will get better!

@@Margie122 Thank you I am also hoping it gets better I will go back to premier protein hopefully it works.
