:angry:
So, I had my sleeve surgery this past Monday and has only been 5 days since surgery and I've been able to drink all my water, chicken broth, and protein shakes without any retrains...

I'm concern that my Dr. didn't shave off enough my stomach; as soon as I start eating I feel hungrier. I don't think is head hunger... or is it????

Very frustrated... Please someone help!!!!

    You are hungry because you are in a large cal deficit.

    I assume you researched your dr befor you underwent this so believe hey did the procedure correctly.

    Having your stomach smaller dosnt stop your body from sending hunger signals. (this is controlled by blood sugar and other hormones)

    You have chosen a difficult road. It will take time to adjust. Unfortunately this way is not magic. The only thing it offers, that a basic cal restriction doesn't, is the real possibility of medical complications if you don't stay strict.

    Good luck wih your goals, and stay strong.

    Thanks for your answer; of course I did research my Dr. and he has many success stories posted all over his office. I'm just concerned because I've to the sleeved forums and they are posting that after they had their sleeve that tselhey couldn't even drink water and had to force them

    Then this is a question for your dr because none of us can tell you if he/she placed things properly in you.
