Well you have to follow a liquid diet after surgery. Did you do a liquid diet pre-op?

Are you taking something for acid? A PPI like Prilosec?

Are you physically or mentally hungry? Would you love to eat some broccoli? Or do you want to one specific thing?

You shouldn't be physically hungry. Mentally hungry, yeah, its hard with nothing to chew for days on end.

Be sure you are taking a PPI - stomach acid can often mimic hunger pains. Try adding sf popsicles or Jello (if allowed), tea, etc. Hang in there! Eating at this early out could cause significant complications.

Many people say they feel hungry for the first few weeks or days after the surgery. You are on a liquid diet for one thing, many people feel MUCH better after they start real food, even soft foods add to the full feeling.

Also, sometimes other things like gas and thirst can seem like hunger. You have to figure out what works for you.

There is also a thing called "head hunger" where you want to eat because you want to eat. Lots of things to work through, the surgery isn't just a magic cure.

Are you truly hungry? Analyze it, think about it. If you had a sleeve, the part of your stomach where the hunger hormone is manufactured is removed. You shouldn't feel hunger for maybe 6 months. I had what I called "Head hunger" I WANTED to eat but when I thought about it I really didn't feel a hunger pain ...I just wanted to eat. It helped me when I cooked some green Beans of the canned variety and put some garlic powder and a bit of salt and pepper and then pureed them in my blender. I could only eat about 2 tablespoons but it felt like I was eating something wonderful. I also made pureed deviled eggs and oh golly they were good. Some times its just good to feel something hot or warm in your mouth like you did before.

@@ray knight I was sleeved on Sep 6 and I haven't felt hungry. Sometimes I have to remind myself to eat. Some still get hunger but I think the majority have less appetite.
