I know that heartburn can be mistaken for hunger. I'm about 4 months out from surgery and for the past couple weeks I've been getting extra hungry. Do you think maybe I need to increase my PPI dose?

Thank you for your replies.

This question is for those who got to goal weight. Did the last 10 pounds make a big difference appearance wise? I'm 5'0 and I'm hoping that it makes a big difference for me.

Thanks. That gives me hope!

Prior to surgery my core was already pretty strong. Since I resumed working out since surgery I'm finding that my core isn't as strong as it used to be. Do you think that it's due to they surgery?

Does anyone find that quest bars make them bloated?

Does anyone find that crystal light gives them belly bloat?

Does anyone have suggestions for snacks that are non dairy and non starches? Thanks

I agree with your comment. I'm not craving bad food either nor have I had any. I eat protein as well and I exercise. Just because we are feeling hunger doesn't mean that we aren't complying with our surgery or its "head hunger".

I know what head hunger feels like it this isn't head hunger

I just started on a ppi and I know that it's not head hunger. I'm not craving bad foods and I haven't ate any bad foods.

So once I heal it will get better?

Is it true that we won't feel the effects of Ghrelin reduction until we have healed?

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I've been doing so well until I started eating them. I need to stay away from anything that serves as a "substitute for sweets".

Are protein bars a trigger food for anyone?

Thank you for sharing that!

Thank you.

I'm about 10 days out from surgery and have lost 13 pounds and looks like weight loss has slowed down. I started with a low bmi to begin with and I know that weight loss is slower. But I can't help but to think the slowed weight loss is an indication of my success. I had a hard time losing weight without surgery and because of that I feel that I'm going to be one of those one in a million people that won't have success from surgery. Anyone relate?

Has anyone heard of this doctor and if so do you follow his way of eating?

Oh ok. Thanks

How do you plan your daily menu for this stage? For example do you plan it as breakfast lunch and dinner with one or two snacks?

Thanks!

Perfect sense!

Thanks for confirming! Tcon... I completely agree!

So I'm correct about the reason being people start to fall back into old habits? Sorry, I didn't want to assume that you were agreeing with me!
