I'm so hungry! Procedure 10/6

I had my sleeve yesterday, I feel like I'm starving today and I scare myself when I think of what was actually done, cutting out the majority of my STOMACH, an organ. Eeeeeks!

Suggestions?

I also get scared thinking about cutting off most of an organ.

Oftentimes acid mimics hunger - are you taking a PPI such as prilosec or nexium?  

Dehydration can also cause hunger.  Make sure you're getting your fluids.  

And last, but not least, a lot of nerves in your stomach were severed.  You can't trust ANYTHING that it's telling you right now.  It's a lying liar that lies.  

This right here is exactly what happened to me.  I wasn't drinking enough, and my acid was wonky the first week. I wasn't hungry in reality but my stomach was sending me all kinds of signals. Just work on drinking and take your PPI.

BWAHAHAHA! Yes, its lying! Made me laugh, OUCH!

Drink. Your stomach isn't hungry, your brain is.

Love this!

I was sleeved Aug 9/16.  I was hungry from the moment I woke up from surgery.   I'm still hungry. I can eat, and be full, and 90 min later i'm ravenous.  I'm starting to plan each meal, pre-cook it, weigh and measure it, and that is my daily alottment.   When it's gone, I'm done eating for the day.

Are you taking any kind of ppi? It might help you too if you are not.
