Why am I soooooo hungry??

[onmyway11 43]

I’m almost 2 weeks out from a DS SIPS revision surgery. I’m on a full liquid diet for 1 more day then I move to the blended diet (mushies I guess). I’m super hungry. I’m down 22 lbs from the week before surgery preop diet so I’m vwry happy but did not expect to be this hungry.

Should I be this hungry at this point? What about the ghrelin factor? Or is that not really a thing? I get plenty of Water and some broth in as well in a day.

Any advise or insight?

Are you really hungry? Or is it mind Hunger?

Sip base or broth all day - Make your own also, I am a chef so this was easy for me but make this for now

Japanese Clear Soup. Load the pot up with veggies follow a online recipe or PM me i have a few -

No way sipping this if you make it right will you be hungry after WLS. I truly think its mind hunger and very common

You said you're revision? Sleeve to SIPS did you say? Were you hungry after your sleeve as well? Did they touch your sleeve this time?

Sorry for these questions. Just asking because I'm a revision as well (MGB to RNY) and have a really hard time battling the cravings this time.

Yes I’m sleeve to SIPS and I don’t believe I was this hungry last time. They did not touch my sleeve during this surgery which makes me think that the ghrelin is still a factor however honestly I don’t really know that much about ghrelin.

I think it may be because i am still on full liquids? I’m hoping Monday will bring some relief?? Def gong to try to add more broth and liquids the previous poster suggested too.

Could be because you're still on full liquids (though I'm not really sure what you can eat when you say "full liquids").

However, your stomach not being touched this time might be an additional reason why you feel hungry.
