Hi all, I was sleeved on 27th July in Brisbane and I am struggling with how hungry I am.

I had no idea how bad it would be and I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions? I have found that if I have some milk in the morning I am not too hungry during the day but I don't know if milk is the best for my new sleeve.

At the moment I am having 125mls of up n go or milk for brekkie, 125mls protein water for morning tea, half a cuppa soup for lunch, juice or protein water again for afternoon tea and half a cuppa soup for dinner. And then approx 300mls water through out the day/night.

Does this sound normal? Does it get easier?

So glad I found this post. I was sleeved July 18 and just started puréed foods. I eat 8 ounces and I'm still starving with my stomach doing flips. I was under the impression that I'd be taking 4-5 bites and be full. I'm so hoping these hunger feeling and craving start to diminish.

I thought I was the only one dealing with this.

I wasn't really hungry, but I understand. Even now, almost 12 weeks out, I eat because I should. To because I'm hungry. You'll make it through this phase just as the rest of us did and you'll be happy you did. Good luck!

I'm starting to question this whole thing... I feel like the only reason I had any weight loss is because I starved myself for 4 weeks.

Is that really all it is? Just a phase and the starvation I'm feeling will subside? Oh I hope because it's really starting to depress me. I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better and passed it.

That's just it, I never felt bad. Yes, there were times, and still are when I eat something that's tasty going down and coming up. Though I never felt starved and if we're honest, many of us are overweight because we enjoy eating.

I come from a family of good cooks and eating bland foods and the liquid diet wasn't cutting it. So I started with fresh chicken, herbs, and spices and made my own broth. That was much tastier than anything bottled or canned. I'm picky about what I eat and if it's not appealing, I forgo it. I guess it helps that I'm really not hungry.

Now my challenge is committing to working out. That's key to getting toned and reaching my goal of a healthier me.

You may want to cut sugar, like the sugar in the juice. It can cause insulin level to jump and then hunger after the crash. I feel like sugar gives me more cravings too, so I try to stay away from it.
