So HUNGRY after REVISION 4/25!!
I had my bypass revision 4/25. Almost 2 weeks in and I'm so hungry. I feel like i could eat no different than before surgery. I'm at stage 2 with liquid/mashy foods but why do i think that if i tried i could probably eat a slice of pizza?? Is this normal? Maybe i did the revision for nothing. Maybe once i heal I'll be able to eat just like i did before. I'm feeling really discouraged right now
Remember that your feelings of hunger, and satiety have been surgically altered. Measure your food per your plan, and eat accordingly. Pay attention to your body...are you needing fluids? Is your protein intake adequate? All this is normal for newer post-ops. Hang in there...that pizza craving is a demon raising it's head to make you miserable.
So, if your pouch was unchanged, then you shouldn't really feel any new restriction than you had before, right? It sounds like they just did a repair than a true revision with the intent to jump-start your loss, so you may be worried needlessly. Just keep pushing like you did before all of the problems.
