I am 4 days post opp, surgery date 12/15/16, im 90% back to normal, i.e doing everything except driving, i dont plan on doing that for another week or so. However, im extremely hungry & my cravings are through the roof, to the point that its making me argumentative with my loved ones! Im trying hard to stick with the liquid diet because my dr. Is in Mexico & my life depends on lettin my body heal and follow the week by week meal plan! Im getting depressed, wondering why im reading post about the "supposedly " remove the part of the stomache that causes hunger.... but i feel lije im dying im just going into day 5 & i have all the broths popcicle & Protein Shakes & Water but all i see on tv is food commercials i never noticed before, on top of it all , the 8 lbs i lost on the pre opp diet was regained @ the hospital w/ 2 days of IV fluids & natural water retention from trauma of surgery, i know im rambling now, i just needed to vent.... im just wondering y all the successfull sleevers dont report the good bad and ugly, i never thought it was like this, i thought it was a quick fix for a few thousands... bye guys & i love each & every one of you- GN

Hey girl. I'm 3 days post op and I feel hungry too, but there's one thing I noticed and that's the fact that we're so used to eating that not putting food in our mouths makes us feel unnatural. I've stayed away from watching tv for a couple of days to avoid seeing commercials that would make me hungry. Aside from that, just sip Water when you do feel hungry and remind yourself that you didn't go through all that traveling and physical pain to eat and let yourself get depressed. You can do this! My doctor is in Mexico too, so I can imagine how you're feeling right now. Stay strong sis!

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
