I am a bottomless pit today!



Recommended Posts

I am just a little over 5 weeks out from VSG today, I have been so hungry!! I feel like I could eat all day. I am doing ok-I am at 700 calories and have hit 68 grams of Protein so far. I haven't gone over 600 calories since surgery. I have also been weepy and hormonal today-FYI had a partial hysterectomy 4 years ago-it could be PMS but I have no way of tracking it. I'm just a whiny butt today!!

Thanks for listening to me whine. Just needed to get that out!!

I HATE those days! Some days I barely feel like eating, and others I could eat all day long and have to restrain myself, lol. Although I don't have periods anymore, I really think it hormones for me, too.

Hang in there! We all need a good whine once in a while, lol.

When I get that way I have a piece of dark chocolate and a Dark chocolate Royal Atkins shake. It works! Or I just go to bed, that works too.

I have noticed that I am more hungry on some days than others as well. But I haven't been starving. TG! lol

I eat between 650-750 calories a day. Usually average around 700.

Hang in there! hopefully its hormonal and will end very soon!! :)

You nailed it! I too have days of super hunger and days I am not interested in eating! The days I am really hungry are frustrating because I end up having something I should not! Work in progress here!

The advice I got from the NUT was if I feel hungry then eat some Protein. She said not to worry so much about calories but get in the proper Protein and then if I was still hungry to either have more protein or make a salad.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
