I'm 14 days out and only having Protein shakes, broth and no calorie drinks (I won't be cleared for soft foods puddig, cottage cheese, refried Beans until another week). Please review the plan your surgeon sent you. Make sure you're getting all your Water, that could be a cause of your hunger. Also stomach acid could mimic hunger. I am on Prilosac to combat that. Did you get anything for the stomach acid as well?

@@shani1970 - I did the same thing but mine was the toppings off of a piece of pizza. It was awful! I thought I was going to die. If you look back about 5 weeks ago I posted about it! I got a lot of support from the family on here, don't beat yourself up, push forward, and remember that pain when you think of making that mistake again!

You got this!

My liquids plan included canned, protein-based Soups (chicken noodle or beef vegetable) blended to a smooth consistency and mashed potatoes or refried Beans blended with milk or broth. The rule for me was if you put a straw in it and it stands up, it's too thick. There should be some options on your plan that will give you some satisfaction from that hungry feeling. And as someone else mentioned, it could be acid mimicking hunger. Above all, take care of yourself!

That helps a lot. I have been beating myself up but I won't forget that pain.

I'm not allowed even pudding until day 11 - if you're hungry, watch the surgery on YouTube. Works for me! I'm in a very depressed time (6 days out, uncomfortable, hungry). I totally understand you.

Good luck ❤

You can go online to Amazon on but bariatric products. I have prime so I picked items in prime and got in 2 days. O ordered proti cream of chicken Soup, proti pudding mix and bark hot chocolate. I just had the Soup, made it according to the directions and it was fine. Good decisions will keep you healing

Literally my doc told me a story of a lady that ate a pork chop 1 week post op and it almost KILLED HER! not killed her pain wise. It literally almost killed her. It scares me enough to follow my plan! Glad everything worked out for you. Not following their recommendations could be catastrophic

Six weeks post sleeve I chewed a very small soft piece of crockpot chicken breast. It stuck in my chest. I ran through my house unable to tell my husband to call rescue because I could not breathe. You can bet that never happened AGAIN! I took every precaution and had been approved for that chicken in my food plan. I stuck to Soups, broths, shakes, cottage cheese, etc, until my NUT at three months declared I should eat salads. The fear was REAL.

That's scary!!

I wonder what happens to people who eat pizza or a burger the day after. Their stomach is gone - so how do they get back straight? I know it's horribly dangerous. Wonder what their final outcomes are.

My surgeon has had 1 failure, they drove to the McD around the corner and ate a big mac. I can't imagine, I hurt so badly then. At a week out, that greasy "meat" still sounds nauseating, but I understand how people need food. I have wanted a cheese stick, but am too scared!

I did good to swallow water! Let alone real food! I could not imagine the people that Sabotage themselves like that so early, will have a very successful outcome

@shani1970- Really? Just for the sake of edifying others who might be thinking about this procedure...how much pre-op work did you do? I'm not judging, I'm just wondering, did you:

Look at YouTube videos of success and failures?

Did you look at this site?

Do you have a counselor and work through your food issues?

Did you feel forced into having this surgery, or was it your choice?

I was so committed that I was dead on perfect from two week pre-op for three months following but mainly because I had seen and learned enough going in that anything less would be a waste and potentially dangerous. But I'm not typical, so what have you learned? Esp. about your expectations going in...

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
