My Gastric Bypass journey so far...

Hi Andrea, how has week 3 gone? The hunger you are feeling could be head hunger or a bit of dehyration, it is a proven medical fact that many obese people have trouble with telling the difference between hunger & thirst thus our overeating tendencies! Also, purees tend to slide through the pouch quickly so you will feel less full and now that the swelling is less in your pouch because you have healed some you will see that you can take in a bit more in one sitting. Don't worry it is normal.

Andrea, what job do you do? You talk about going back to a long shift, is it a sit down office job or are you on your feet. I ask because I work for the NHS and just wondering how I will stage my return, post-op.
