In Mandeville area and had sleeve on 10/20

 I am looking for local (or not local) people to help me on this journey.  I have found out post surgery that I am one of the people who get hungry (there are those who don't post surgery), and it is hard feeling this way.  I sip, sip, sip, but want to chew, chew, chew.  I am on clear liquids until the 31st when I can begin having pudding and yogurt.  Any advise or suggestions?

Hey 3dhowel. Nice to meet you. Congrats on having the surgery. I am sorry that you are still having the hunger. I have not had my surgery yet but soon I hope. lol  I have read lots of post in the last six months about wanting to chew. Some of the ideas are to chew ice chips, chew something and then spit it out ( not sure if that is safe), and chew gum ( gas?) but I sure hope that the feeling gets better.Another suggestion is to check your PPI and see you if u  have too much acid and the hunger is from that. I am not a dr but I sure hope something is this post helps you.  Good luck on your journey and please keep posting. We are here for support and we all want for everyone to succeed....Sherri

Hi-

Sorry I can't offer any advice because I haven't had my surgery yet, I'm scheduled 12/07 with Dr. Bellanger in Gonzales....I live in Baton Rouge.  However, I do want to say that I hope everything goes well for you and if you ever want to chat I am here.  Best of luck......Tee
