[@mariebonytathelusma9381]

Tell us your secret. It's 3months after surgery, my hunger is back!!!

[@kiessahamilton2625]

I have never lost feelings of hunger...that makes me scared, I am okay with feeling hungry though it reminds me to eat..I literally get hungry every 2 hours

[@cindylindyluu]

I feel the same

[@lesliehubernyc]

I also feel the same. The first week and a half I had no hunger but now it’s back. I’m three weeks post op and I feel hungry a lot. It’s not as intense as before, it feels different. But it’s there. I wish it would just never be there like the doctor seems to suggest is normal.

[@mockingbirdnightingale7169]

A couple days after my VSG, I was leaving the city where I had it done and drove past a --- totally serious --- chocolate factory. I'd never been there before and had no idea at first why I could smell the most amazing smell of roasting chocolate for 3 blocks. But what really surprised me was that I just wanted to enjoy the smell of it, and had NO interest in eating any, as I had completely lost my hunger sensation. It didn't come back for months, and when it did, it was very mild. I'm 19 months post-op now and while I do get hungry, I can quell it with a cracker if I want to (exception: after very strenuous exercise, I do actually need to eat.) I'm working hard to maintain my goal weight of 135 lbs (5'7") with a lot of exercise and about 1500 calories/day. VSG is a miracle for someone like me who hated that I was overeating but just always felt voraciously hungry. Now I feel like how I imagine "normal" people feel most of the time.

[@brianwilliams309]

I just had my sleeve on 1/5/22 and the hunger pains was the worse. The steroids did absolutely nothing to stop that feeling. It went away after about 3 weeks post op.

[@Zulimozzart]

How are you now? Idk I’m in between getting gastric bypass surgery or sleeve surgery.

[@kakim4956]

I never lost my true hunger after my VSG a year ago. The only thing that helped me lose weight after my surgery was the healing process of eating stages. Liquids to purée to soft foods, etc… I took PPIs immediately after my surgery and for months afterward. My hunger persisted and does to this day. I only lost 40 lbs following my surgery. Not the result I was hoping for. I plan to have a revision later this year from VSG to RNY to not only help with more weight loss but to get rid of my acid reflux. Not sure why I experienced all of this but I try very hard every day to eat the way I’m supposed to. I’m optimistic I’ll eventually reach my goal weight. 🤞🏻😁

Take a picture of what you eat all the time even snacks & bites for accountability

[@MakeupbyJane]

I am 10 months post op and hungry all the time. Had I not tracked my food and started working out 6x a week o don’t think I would have lost more than those initial 40 lbs. in fact because I workout so much now I’m not losing because I’m eating so much. I too never lost my hunger since day 1 post op. 😩

[@abstractoriginal5011]

Thank you so much for these videos. They have helped me so much during my journey. I thought something was wrong with me cause I have been starving!!

[@sarahjenkins8963]

I had gastric bypass and 3 weeks out and feel like my stomach is eating itself. I am miserable 😫

[@Zulimozzart]

How are you doing now?

[@sarahjenkins8963]

@@Zulimozzart I still am hungry. I eat 6 times a day. I have to eat before I go to bed. I tried not to but I start dryheaves from hunger.

[@antoinetteleonard580]

[@ryanragan8899]

Just wondering how your surgery went? I'm very close to booking my appointment.

[@chandragablaze2075]

Sitting in Hospital right now 5 days post-OP Thanks, that cleared up a loooot! I was so confused why I feel hungry all the time

[@lindamastropietro4429]

You were in for 5 days? Did you have the sleeve?

[@Brookerulezz]

I go on February 14th for my first consultation for surgery. Wish me luck!!! ❤️

[@dawnregister4235]

I was wonder why I’m feeling this way, I just had surgery November 5,2022 and I’m having these feelings. Thank you

[@merci7249]

Congratulations. My surgery was November 8,2022

[@HollySageCypress]

I am 8 weeks post-op gastric sleeve. I was lower BMI of 32 at surgery. It’s been almost a month with no loss. Obviously I’m in a stall. Surgeon thought I’d lose 50-60 lbs total. I’m happy if I only lose 30 (size 12) but would love to lose more. I do feel hunger like you’ve mentioned and always have. My calories are around 1000/day. I’ve had zero complications, zero hair loss so far. Anyone else experience similar? Love Dr A’s channel and follow for advice.

[@nicx7785]

I had Bypass, but that's way sooner than mine expects 1000 calories/day I think. Even with protein (350 calories), what are you getting the extra 650 calories from? I'm only 6 weeks but not nearly at 1000 calories yet. And I work out 6 days a week and lift weights daily.

[@tammysimmons8113]

Same here! I’m a slow loser and I’m not seeing the results I thought I would but happy for every pound loss

[@Biggsmartone978]

Wow!! Thanks for this information! I needed this!!!!

[@TastingTurkishCulture]

I just had my gastric sleeve surgery on Dec 27,2023. I am feeling hungry and I thought dr didn’t do surgery or something else. I feel relieved after watching this video. Thanks Dr . ❤

[@sasquatchhunter86]

[@irektaflinski5449]
