Starving or stomach acid causing issues?

If you are feeling genuine hunger once are onto solid foods this will help reduce the feeling as the solid food will cause more restriction (and it will tell the brain you have had sufficient calories).

I actually envy you. I am 9 weeks postop and I yet to have develop an appetite. Nothing looks good, smells good or tastes good. I am forcing myself to eat every day and I barely get 2 ounces in. I so wish I had an appetite.

Heyyy!

I'm about 23 days out from surgery. I had VSG too...one thing I wanted to say was to be sure you're not feeling gas. For me, hunger pangs AND gas pains were the same feeling lol...weird right? But for me mashed potatoes helped a lot, that ricotta bake recipe is pretty good too & made me feel like i was actually eating! Things will be better soon! I had a really hard time my first week or so due to my emotions being CRAZY and me not being able to wrap my head around that I physically cannot eat the foods I've always loved.

Have you tried Protein Soups? How about protein hot chocolate? I find that warm liquids go down a little more easily than cold. I got some protein hot chocolate from the BariatricPal Store that is really good. It tastes like normal hot chocolate, no weird protein taste.

I’m the same way I’m on purées food but I’m not eating really although I’m starving. I had my sleeve 7/14 I’m losing very slow. I have trouble getting my Protein and my liquids and I barely have energy! I wanna eat too that’s the worst of it

Hi,
I had my surgery on the 14th as well. I cant really stomach anything either. I haven't gotten in my liquids or Proteins on any day. I can't do Protein Shakes or anything artificially sweetened. I finally went to the hospital tonight and got an IV. They took xrays and said everything looked fine. I'm just hoping this feeling stops soon.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).

      Just wondering if any of the Type 2 Diabetics also have there blood glucose go high when having only a Premier Protein drink for breakfast?  How does Premier Protein compare to BOOST Glucose Control in your experience?
