1 Week Post Gastric Sleeve - Hungry, Hungry, Hungry

[wildthayne 3]

Hi Everyone, I'm new to BP. Had my Gastric Sleeve done on 2/15 with easy recovery but I am so hungry all the time now. I'm drinking 2-3 Premire shakes every day...drinking broth, tea, and Soup in between...taking my Prilosec as ordered....but am so, so hungry! So worried my surgery was a waste.

Hunger can mean dehydration, drink more and see if it satisfies you.

Hi- I had mine on 1/11 and also recovered quickly and smoothly. I was surprised by how hungry I felt; it seems like a key piece of info I wasn't informed of or anticipating. I heard endless stories of, "oh I couldn't imagine eating two bites of Jello, I had no appetite!" This was not my experience. Here's the good news: it goes away. As you're able to introduce actual food, you will finally feel satisfied. Rather, I did, I don't want to assume. During the early liquid stages I found the Campbell's healthy Tomato Soup mixed with skim milk was savory and had a thickness I found filling. Good luck to you- this stage is temporary!
