I am 17 days VSG post op, and I find myself feeling hungry and thinking about food... I was wondering if this is normal or does my carbohydrate count have this result in my body?

Thank you in advance....

I'm 17 days post op and quite often "hungry" and thinking about food. But it isn't hunger in my stomach, it's definitely in my head. And I'm also thinking about food - specifically food with a crunch as I'm on the puree stage and missing food textures. I've seen other posts where people say they have head hunger so it's probably quite normal.

Im 18 days and have no appetite for anything, not even liquids. Unfortunately it makes me quite sick, so not sure which is better, hoping it all goes away soon.

what is the app you are using for your food breakdown?

Baritastic, my surgeon's office has a code for it, and it links to their office's nutritionist .

that is cool. I don't meet with the nutritionist until next month. Ill have to ask.

I am 11 days post-op. I find myself having cravings and “head hunger “ as well. I’m really working on analyzing “Am I really hungry or just having a craving”. I’ve had a bad relationship with food in my adult life due to food being locked up as a child. If I don’t change how I think then I may see a therapist to help work it out.
