I am 1 week post op from a VSG.  I am still on liquids and finding myself hungry ALL THE TIME. Please tell me this will pass once I advance to solids in 6 weeks.  What was on your menu 1 week post op??

Water, protein drinks, broth, jello.  The good thing is that this stage only lasts briefly.  I missed chewing lol.  I was happy to chew jello and tried to convince myself that was good enough.  I wasn't hungry though and if I was craving some kind of food, I knew for sure it was truly all in my head.  Wishing you the best!

For the first two weeks post-op I was on full liquids.  I did a lot of protein shakes and then french onion soup from panera that was strained.  Yum.  

Your hunger is most likely due to acid or lack of fluids.  How much are you getting in a day?  Are you on a PPI such as prilosec or nexium?  If you aren't, see about starting one - they're both OTC.
