Wow! So many great ideas! I'm so glad I asked! I hope this thread is helpful to others too

Yum! Going to look for these at the store today!

Sorry RootMAN ;p

Thanks for all the ideas ladies!

Thank you for such a specific reply! I need specifics

I see people all the time say they are eating about 800 calories per day AFTER 6 months. What's a typical day's food look like for you? I can't get under about 1100 calories and meet my protein goal. What are you eating? Please answer if you are 6 months out or more.

Looking for new ideas...so, what is your favorite under 100 calorie snack? Oh, it needs to at least feel filling.

Thanks!

I can't find the thread with all of the people's user names for myfitnesspal.com

Thank you for the warm welcome and the advice!

Thanks for the heads up! I'll go find the site

Thank you for the suggestions! I am also glad to see that other sleevers have experienced hunger issues as well. I will be talking to my General Practitioner about something like Prilosec. My sleeve surgeon said there should be no acid in my stomach or esophagus (!) - I beg to differ with him. I think the shooting pains in my stomach when there is no food in it must have something to do with acid.

Hi everyone! I am a 43 year old mom who is 1 year and 1 month post op. I weighed 300 lbs. when I began my journey a little over a year ago. I lost 80 lbs. pretty quickly, but have been completely stalled for about 3-4 months. I'm trying not to be too hard on myself, but I feel hungry all the time (even though I am not supposed to!) and am worried that my chance for "real" weight loss is over. I am still 225 lbs and have been for 3-4 months. I was really hoping to be at least under 200 lbs. by now I know I could be doing better, but sometimes I just feel defeated. I'm glad I found this site! My dr. doesn't do many sleeves, he is mostly gastric bypass. I have no one to talk to at his patient support group - which is all about bypass issues and concerns, and often both he and the nutritionist forget that I even had the sleeve and talk to me like a bypass patient. The surgeries are very different and we have different issues, as you all know!

I am new here. I am 1 year and 1 month out from getting sleeved. I feel better seeing so many people eating around the 1000-1200 calorie mark. If I eat less than that I feel really dizzy and sick. I was worried I was eating way too much.

Hi, I just joined this site hoping to find someone else like me, and some good advice. I am 1 year and 1 month post op. My dr. does mostly gastric bypass surgeries, so out of the 40 people who attend monthly support meetings, I am the only sleeve. There is 1 other sleeve in the area done by him, and she totally "fell off the wagon." She eats whatever she wants and has gained quite a bit of weight back. I am really worried. I lost about 70 lbs. but have stopped losing weight for the last 3-4 months. I am stalled at 225. I am so tired of hearing the gastric bypass people (and even gastric sleeve people online) say that they are rarely or never hungry. I am HUNGRY ALL THE TIME. It is very difficult for me to go 2 hours without feeling hungry. I've talked to my nutritionist and dr. and they say I shouldn't be, it's all in my head. Anyone else have this problem? What do you do about it? I feel like even though I am eating small portions, I am eating them too often and consuming way to many calories. Where can I find suggestions for satisfying meals that fill me up longer with fewer calories?Anyone want to share their story with me?
