I'm getting concerned, my surgery was a little over 2 weeks ago and I'm just starting stage 2. honestly before the surgery everyone was telling me how afterwards I wouldn't be hungry and I would only be able to take in about the amount of 3 shot glasses. I haven't noticed that at all.. I'm still always hungry and I can take in as much liquid as I want. It doesn't seem like my stomach is smaller.. Lol has anyone else that is farther along in this journey had that experience? Please someone give me some good news

I am 5 weeks out and had the same issue. The entire time I am thinking that I got DUPED! I just kept drinking my water and my shakes and sugar free popcicles really helped me. I had a lot of head hunger and it takes a while to work through that one. I found that (this may sound weird) when I got like that I oils eat a listerine breath strip, gargle with listerine or just brush my teeth and then drink some water and it helped. Greek yogurt also helps a lot because of the protein. I promise it gets better. Getting through the pre-op is hard, having the surgery is harder but getting through the 6-8 weeks post surgery is the hardest of the hard. I am 5 weeks out and down 30 pounds and just that little amount has made a huge difference in my over all well being. Eyes on the prize don't let your head get into your stomach!!!!!

First month I was painfully hungry. It was part of my healing. Yes some people never feel hunger some people do. I don't mind . I rarely feel hunger now 4 months out. But when I do I think I could eat a horse. Two bites later I'm stuffed..so that's the difference..feeling hunger isn't the be all and end all. It's okay
