7 days post op feeling no restriction

[sarah x]

Is this normal ? I'm still feeling hungry

Hi Sarah, I'm sure a 'sleever' will come long soon, but I just wanted to say I'm sure it takes a little while to settle. Could it possibly be 'head hunger' you're feeling? X

Initial restriction is based on swelling. You might not have much swelling. You will feel it when you are on proper food. As for hunger are you sure? I had zero interest in food post op. it could be gas, acid or even head hunger. Give it time.

Im exactly the same and im 12 days im assured its normal as we are on fluids and they go straight through our sleeve and when we start on proper food we will feel more restriction, so don't worry x

I think it's head hunger tbh I'm cooking for the family every night, I'm already sick of soup ?

I think it's just head hunger if I'm honest, can't wait to start on the mushy food so I can actually see if I have restriction thanks for replying

Head hunger is an ongoing battle

Definitely head hunger!!!!!!

With my band I can be sooooo full but still my head wanders into the cupboard!!!

Head hunger is hard!!!
I've no interest in food all day but come the family evening meal I almost salivate lol but haven't given into temptation.
However I do have the occasional packet of baked crisps (I never ate them pre-op!!) and half glass of wine.
Weight's still coming off though. I've now lost 57lbs since my sleeve op on 22-06-13 and 85lbs in total. Thrilled!!!!!

Head hunger is definately one of the worst battles im playing with! But i think im getting used to it now x

Sarah, it's because you are on liquids. As soon as you start on proper food (not mushy) you will feel restriction. That happened to me, don't worry. Even now, 5 months out, I still overestimate what I can actually eat x
