Going Through Pms This Week And I've Noticed I'm Hungry

Its good you realized it was just PMS and it will pass. Four days after surgery I started getting the same thing. I actually havent been able to gauge how this sleeve will work for me because Im so rediculously hungry all the time. It really sucks. If you have had your sleeve for a bit I assume things will go back to how it was before! Hang in there!

I got my sleeve on Sept. 19th, 2012 and it's almost 3 weeks now, I'm supposed to be on liquids only but the chicken broth is not doing much for me, I'm hungry after having it and having problems with sleeping :-(

I'm so disappointed, I did do research and almost everyone said you really don't get hungry !!

So Am I doing something wrong ??

today i felt like having mushrooms and i ordered a slice of pizza to just have the top part of it and i threw away the bread part. Then i wanted a cheeseburger for dinner and i had it, I'm very frustrated to be going through this, SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ????

Hi Anayoritz, I had my surgery on the 19th and I am starving but I also know that if you eat crazy stuff you may start dumping and boy I have heard some horror stories. I recommend asking your doctor move you up to cream soup. I am going to be totally honest with you. I miss chewing so much and crunchy stuff that I dream about it. But I also know that food is something I will have to learn to do differently.

If you need more then tell the doctor.

Casein Protein? It's slow release. Also, during PMS your body needs extra calories (I read this in Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Strength)

As much as possible I would try to take everything in stride. Use a different type protein. They're supposed to stick with you longer; or are you still on clear liquids?

Slipping and sliding and getting back on track is going to be part of the journey, I guess. If you will accept that you are not superhuman and that being forgiving to yourself is going to be important, maybe you could shift your mental effort into self-forgiveness. I think that would be more productive than feeling terrible.

I'm not speaking from experience so possibly none of this will help. I haven't been to my cycle yet. But do be kind to yourself. About that part, I am sure.

thank you No Mush, i am suppose to be on liquids but doing chickn salad and tuna, still hungry though, don't know what to do, maybe next week it will be better )

sheila2050 - Im on Pure Protein twice a day, i think it will get better next week (i hope).

Hang in there! I have complete faith it WILL get better!!!

I got some great advice while struggling with my hunger so I will share it with you, If your going to cheat, try and cheat on the healthy side! How did the pizza toppings and cheese burger set in your tummy? Was it heavy? Did the grease bother you?

TamaraS - the cheese and mushrooms were delicious, the cheeseburger made my stomach feel heavy, but i will stop cheating from now on, gotta loose the weight and focus.
