Just had revision because of the Gerd issues and esophagus issue. No pains 1 week out but Something’s not right ,
I am hangry !!! Hungriest I have ever been in my life !
Is this normal right after surgery ??
In fear if this is new normal
Anyone else feel this way ? Drinking more doesn’t quench it like normally would
Thanks for your help
 
I was also very hungry. I was mad because I thought the hunger hormone would not work, at least for a while after the surgery. I went straight to bypass not a revision. I had some issues with sweet things and all of the protein shakes were sweet and gross. I was so happy to eat mashed potatoes. It was on my liquid diet list. I was hungry every two hours.

Hi, I have been away for quite a while. Just got back here and saw your post.
I had revision from lapband to bypass due to acid issues and esophageal ulcers.
The first couple of weeks after surgery I was not hungry. But as I began to approach food I was. But mostly I will say it was psychological. I agree protein shakes made me gag.

What I am fully healed inside means to me is that every disturbance and sip and car ride and everything doesn't feel like a tummy ache. This coincided with me actually feeling hungry again. I can tell now when I need to eat and it is not the same as it was immediately post-op. I actually wanted to eat after cooking dinner that I couldn't wait for my husband to get home to eat with him. Thankfully he walked in before I sat down and we did get to sit together. It is nice to want to sit through a meal even though my portions are still so small and always will be. I do have to intentionally eat slow so I can finish my meal without nausea still but when I do it right, food is enjoyable again and that is encouraging and scary. I think the discomfort has helped me control my overeating and allow the weight loss. It still takes a lot of patience and perseverance.
 
100% and for meI still feel Luke I'm learning how to work this new me, new appetite,refusal to feel guilty, being concious of everything!
Finding new things, recipes, and loving them.
I love my protein, collagen coffee in the morning. I enjoy a flavored protein coffee in the afternoon and a plain coffee at night because they are too filling
My new lesson is learning what to eat when I want something sweet but not high in calories and I'm turning to protein bars etc.

Learning to make new picky stuff because I'm more of a picker than sweet eater lol
