I had the VSG on June 29th my problem is I am starving mentally. I have chewed a couple things up then spit it out just to get the flavor. Ugh..... when will I be able to eat? How long before I don't feel these crazy cravings and one of the cravings was pickles I never really been a fan why now? I'm also feeling a bit depresed.

Ditto over here. I'm also feeling kind of depressed and I chewed stuff too to have a different taste in my mouth other then Jello and broth. My Dr says that I'd have to wait till my 3rd month post op to be able to eat regular foods but I just don't knw if I will

Make it there

I'm on liquids still. But I do chew stuff up and spit them back out. I've also had some of my kids Cereal ( 2-3 teaspoons full) and felt kinda full to tell I the truth. And it did take that jittery, weak, dizzy feeling I was experiencing at the time.

I went to my dr for my week follow up and he sent me liquid Protein to take 3x's a day. It's helped with that almost faint feeling but not with the hunger. I don't really know what to do anymore. I'm literally hungry every hour.

I've gone on YouTube and I read on other places that I'm not an alien from outer space and that I'm not the only one feeling like this. I just don't wanna fall into a depression stage cause I'm kinda prone to that. I'm thinking of calling to follow up with my nutritionist and see what she can help

With.

Yes I am prone to depression, and anxiety as well I am so glad I'm not alone I swear I cook for the family and I'm almost angry that they can eat and I can't lol I know it's not their fault and I don't show them how I feel but I do think it!

Yup. Totally understand what that feels like not only at home but at work as well since I do manage a cafeteria to top it off. I'm just so annoyed and I feel a bit of regret at times too.

I'm sorry you are both struggling with these issues post-op. I really want to encourage you to reach out to your respective health care teams for help in dealing with the physical and emotional stresses of adapting to life post-surgery. I know chewing and spitting seems harmless, but it is recognized as a form of disordered eating, and it is how many bulimics get started. Please don't head down that road! It can also mess up your metabolism. Best wishes to both of you going forward.

We are surgery sisters! You are not the only one to feel that way. I cant stand the liquid diet. Soup and Jello and pudding...ugh! Protein shakes are the highlight of my day. I get to start soft Protein tomorrow.

I soo feel left out with everyone talking about these Protein shakes. post-295739-14677635401433_thumb.jpg post-295739-14677635668765_thumb.jpg

This is what my Protein consists of. 3 x's a day. Even though it hasn't done squat for my feeling hungry it has been good for the weakness,nausea, sleepiness and lightheadedness that I was experiencing after getting out of the hospital

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
