    Completely Given Up

    I had my surgery 3 months ago and I have only lost 40 lbs. I am still hungry all the time as my hunger hormones never subsided. I feel like a failure. Has anyone else gone through this? I am sobbing as I am writing this as I feel completely hopeless.

    Forgive my ignorance, what is a nut?

    Failure

    Am only 5 weeks out of being sleeved and yesterday was complete setback for me. I ate string cheese, Nutella , too much deli chicken and goldfish crackers. . This is the first time I have had a "crash" since being sleeved. The only decent thing I did was exercise. I even drank water with my food. I kept grazing all day. I am so ashamed. I feel like I have failed at the sleeve

    Still Hungry A Month Later

    Drinking more when I feel I am hungry is a very good idea. I will be trying to drink more tomorrow! Great idea

    Still Hungry A Month Later

    Thanks for the compliment on the 22lb weight loss. Not too sure it's thirst. Good thing is that even though I am frequently hungry it takes a very small amount to make me full. Thank goodness!!
  7. I get he half hour rule about no drinking within a half hour of eating. Does this also count for priotein drinks? Very confused. Anyone's input greatly appreciated!!
  8. Was sleeved on 05/16. I am still hungry quite a bit after my meals. This has been the case since I came out of surgery. This is very discouraging since I was told by my Dr that my hunger would subside within a week or so. Also I have only lost 22 lbs in one month. The first two weeks it was 16 lbs. then only 6 lbs the next two weeks. I have exercised every day and have had zero carbs, sweets, and so on. Just very discouraged :-(
  9. Today is a month since I was sleeved. In the last two weeks I lost only 6 lbs. I am so disappointed. I have stuck to my diet and exercised every day. 22 lbs in a month is very upsetting to me. Hope this surgery was worth it :(

    What's The Deal On Hunger?

    I came out of surgery hungry. I was sleeved a month ago. Although it has got better, I still get VERY hungry at times. Not once have I "forgot" to eat like some people say they do. The good thing is you can fulfill that hunger with a VERY small amount of food. My Dr also said it could be stomach acids and your body asjusting to the new sleeve....that the hunger thing could be hormonal.
  11. Anyone have any advice on how to get more protein in?

  12. Does anyone know if drinking the protein drink can be drank with other liquids....or does the 30 minute wait rule apply to those like it does food?

    Advise Please

    I came out of surgery hungry as well and I was sleeved 3 weeks ago. It DOES get better with time but you certainly do NOT want to eat as much as you can. Your stomach is still healing. I bought a jar of unflavored protein isolate...which is the purest form of protein. I put it in my smoothies, it contains 25 grams of protein. Keeps me full for hours!! Just an idea but please be patient. Every day it does get easier!
  14. I do not know how to start a post on a forum, I am new to this. Would someone please help me?
