I'M NOT EVEN HUNGRY BUT EVERYTHING LOOKS SO GOOD!?!

Omg, someone help me like what the heck is going on! I praise the lord for this surgery but who would of ever thought I would have these many cravings? Whether it's the Hillshire GO MEAT commercial to an Olive Garden commercial! Every little thing looks so good to me. Did anyone else feel like this a week after their surgery? I'm 4 days post op btw!

Yep, that's how it goes...

Well, it did for me...

But that's all changed now...

I don't get hungry...

Not ever...

And food pretty much bores me...

I've no desire to eat at all...

Of course, every now and then I see an ad for a Brazilian BBQ restaurant or something and my mouth waters...

But for the most part, nothing interests me...

Except protein of course...

Mmmmmmmmmmmm...

Protein powder... :mellow:

Meanwhile I'm just sitting here, inhaling carbs...

Damn you!

???? I envy you so much.

I'm so ready to get to that stage where I can eat normally and go out with friends while eating without it being awkward.

Hahaha...

Believe me @@mrs kaje

I'd give anything to feel hungry again...

Just every now and then...

Obviously not to the extent that I was...

But it'd really help if I could WANT to eat..

That, my dear, is what we refer to as "head hunger". And it can be a total b i t c h to deal with!

As soon as your start more solid foods, it will pass :)

I'm having the same problem right now! I'm one week post op from the gastric sleeve. I know I don't feel hungry but I guess I still have the habit of wanting to eat everything. Like no hunger feeling at all but the appetite or craving of real food I guess is the way I can explain it. Maybe because I feel like I'm being deprived on being on liquids for the next two weeks :( lol.

Omg it's like foamie spit that comes up I was told eating to fast or should I say SIPPING

Girllllllllll lol, I haven't had that yet but I'm so scared to even experience things such as that, or throwing up and acid reflux. I literally take my damn time. Idc if it takes me 2 days to drink broth, I'm chicken as hell. I do not care lol.

And what exactly are you "sipping" on to get your daily Protein intake? I'm having the hardest time. I'll literally drink two table spoons of V8 in the morning when I FEEL like it, then at night I'll drink like 10-15 mg of broth and ofc sip on my Water throughout the day. Zero protein whatsoever!

I have the head hunger for sure! I am 5 days post op and have been wanting to lick Doritos. .I haven't, though. The foamies..yes I think I have had that since day 2. I think the FAQ refers to it as the slimies..its so weird andbfor me seems the worst after I have a protien shake from powder..not so much from the ready mixed.

Ah, appetite! 'tis a cruel mistress, don't worry, we've all experienced these cravings, you'll satiate them soon enough in a couple of months.
