I get so hungry at night!!!! I'm 3 weeks out! Starving at night I hate that. I stay pretty satisfied during the day but Come 9pm I'm ravenous!! Any tips!? Some of it may be head hunger but sometimes it doesn't go away!

I was like that also!!! It went away once I started purée foods! I think it's a symptom of just being hungry!!! It gets better I was so restless evil grumpy and cried all the time! I promise it goes away!!!

It's so hard to be patient!!! I just want everything now lol!!! Let's both hang in there it'll all be worth it

How long did everyone wait to eat spicy foods/tamatoes or citrus??

I'm starting week 4 and am down about 15-20lbs (depending on water weight) I fluctuate. I just feel discouraged it seems like it's been so much longer than 3 weeks! Feels like 3 months. I started with a lower bmi so I know they says it's slow going. I know I should just be happy with my new tool and be excited that a few drinks of protein shake makes me feel full. I should also be happy the mood swings and extreme cravings are behind me but I just want more results faster. I'm impatient I know!!! I just have to stick to getting my protien and water in everyday and walking walking walking!! I also started squats lunges and push-ups (off the wall) to start toning and building muscles a bit! I'll be glad when I can really lift weights again! I have tons to be grateful for I know I'm just impatient and ready to look like myself again!!!

Hey are you sipping Water? Does it make you nauseated? Some people are doing well with caffeine free green tea they say the warm is easier to sip and doesn't make them nauseated. I just drink water all day. I get 3-4 liters down with no issues and have since about day 6 or 7. I drank a gallon a day before the sleeve though I'm a big water drinker. I literally sip all day from the time I wake up till I go to bed and I pee 100 times. Hope it gets better for you!

Premier chocolate with coco PB2 and ice in the blender. I also add 2 scoops of low carb isopure protein powder for 50 extra gms protein! 80 gms protein total I sip it all day stays cold for a while then I put it back I fridge. Wait a couple hours and sip some more. Taste like Reese! Like a milkshake. So good! Low fat low carb low calorie! It's perfect!

Lol this is funny to me! I think people think because they lost 50lbs they look good! Not always the case they may need to loose 50 more but they just see the improvement not the current look. I've also noticed people who loose weight don't know how to dress their new bodies. Bless their hearts I hope if I look a fool someone will tell me!!!! I ask my mom all the time how fat I look and she always says pretty fat still lol so I change! Thank goodness for honesty!

When I need a boost I go back to just protein shakes and water for a day or so!!! It's a good way to get back in the swing of things!

It could also be a symptom of reflux. The acid burns the esophagus and can feel like something's sticks! Try liquid antacids and see if that elucidates it a bit!? Gaviscon works wonders!

You can always go back to clears with a few protein shakes a day! That's my plan if I get off track. Start back with broths and water and protein shakes! Sounds terrible I know but I'm hoping it can give me that boost I need when I get in a bad place!

What do your NUTs say about carb limits? Mine is 30gm I just wanted to see what everyone else is doing?

Anyone getting down 1/2cup-1cup of puréed foods? Just curious?

I'll be so glad when my incisions heal enough to swim!!!

Amazon is where I get it! But some grocery stores have it to!

I use pb2 with coco and premier in the blender with a little ice and it taste like a Reese's frosty!!!! Soooooo good!!! I add 2 scoops of ISOpure which is 50 gms protein plus 20 from the shake 70 gms protein and yummy! I've also been drinking the broth from wonton soup and egg drop soup they are super yummy and very low cal!

Anyone take gummy fiber or vitamins? Anyone have issues with them upsetting your new tummies? I'm taking the melting type now but I miss my fiber gummies!?? I'm almost at week 3 obviously I'll wait till week 4 to even think about trying them but was curious if anyone else takes them!?

Stop all sugar free jello and Popsicles etc... As soon as I stopped all sugar free stuff I stopped being hungry! Sugar free products causes cravings!

Good!!! Down from 207 to 188! Day 12! Hunger is moderate since I stopped sugar free crap I have way less cravings and less hunger! Broth based soups and protein shakes is pretty much all I eat! I'm getting 70 gms of protein a day and drinking 3-4 liters of water I sip sip sip all day! My incisions are healing really nice! My energy levels are touch and go I feel good right now and want to workout but I know it's to soon!

Hey yall try adding PB2 with coco to your protein shakes and put them in the blender taste like Reese's and very little calories or carbs! Also stop all sugar free anything it causes bad bad cravings! Since I stopped jello and Popsicles I have zero cravings!

I believe some of it was stomach acids because I'm much better now! I added my protein shakes also they fill me up so I'm not starving anymore. Once off the clears wow what a difference I've had zero hunger!

Thx everyone! I'm staying in top of my antacids because I heard it could make you feel hungry with to much acid production! My dreams Bout food are ridiculous! One day at a time is all I can do at this point! Im having a hard time finding sugar free Popsicles that's are edible! I'll definitely keep staying on top of my acid meds and avoid sugar free crap! I think it's causing cravings. One more day and I can start protein shakes! I make a great shake with ISOpure and pb2!!! I can't wait! Thanks for the encouragement we can do it! On the upside I'm down from 207 to 191

I'm so hungry! It just started yesterday I thought it was head hunger so I continued on with broth and jello and crystal light trying to ignore it. I've had crazy dreams about food the past two nights. This is horrible I'm starving! I pray it gets better. I stopped all the sugar free crap today thinking it's causing cravings bad cravings so I'm sipping broth and water only from here on out! Or at least till Monday when I can start my protein shakes!! I just had a mini melt down. Hoping the hunger subsides! I had unrealistic expectations that I just wouldn't be hungry:( On the upside I'm having very little to no pain at all and the scale is moving down a few pounds at a time and my energy levels are ok. I'm staying hydrated I have no issues drinking 2-3 liters of water a day so no headaches or dehydration symptoms!

I love the Atkins Carmel latte and coffee flavored shakes!! As good as Starbucks! So yum!
