One week out of surgery

I personally did not have a lot of cravings in the beginning, but I know others have had a very hard time in the beginning. Are you actually hungry or is it just your mind craving food because you can't have it? Either way, it never hurts to talk to your doctor. A large part of the changes you'll go through with WLS is adjusting your relationship with food to be one of healthy balance. That mental adjustment does not happen overnight, regardless of what physical changes came about through surgery. I really would not suggest eating actual food though, as it will most likely make you sick so soon.
 
I have not had anything sugary or starchy or too fatty. I am so scared of the dumping that I have not wanted anything bad enough to chance it. I can't be sick when I am at work. I have too many meeting and that would not be cool to leave because I ate something wrong. I think and hope this feeling last for a long long time because I don't want to know how much is too much. I have to be careful the time and what I eat at work because I do get sick right after I eat at times. Chicken does this to me the most I am getting to the point I don't even know if I like chicken any more. It has made me in pain so many times that it is not a go to food now. I would say try to get your self past wanting foods you should not have. If you do I hope you do not get sick. Good Luck
 
Hi Kari.
I am 4 weeks post op and I have felt "cravings and hunger" but I jokingly say I am head hungry not tummy hungry. It's hard, no doubt. I sympathize with you. No magic answer I don't think but I would agree, it's just taking a minute to truly think about why you did this and your ultimate goals.
