I was sleeves 6.12.16. PMS hunger is real. I'm battling it right now. I'm not craving anything. Just hungry ans can't get satisfied. I have increased the Protein and have stuck with the plan. But this is the first time I have felt like I had to "diet" to keep from going off the deep end and over eating

I am pleased with everything up to this point. I'm losing just over 4 lbs a week. Following the plan to the T. I workout an hour 4-6 days a week. I was sleeved 6.21.16

Before surgery the week before I started my period I could eat a horse!! Well this week I have felt the same. I will start next week and this week has been rough!! I "feel" hungry all the time. Not craving anything. Just hunger. I'm thinking it has something to do with PMS. I just dnt stay satisfied for long. I have eaten more Protein and kept myself from snacking. But if this is going to be the normal I will be very sad. I have felt like I have been on a strict diet this week.

Has anyone experienced this

Will this get better as time goes

Any suggestions

Thanks!

I was never nauseated after surgery. When I started my Vitamins I began to experience it. I learned to take them as soon as I ate. They are dissolvable.

I started Water aerobics 2 weeks post op. Used tegaderm over incisions. It was easy. Not sweating out precious fluids and low impact.

We had surgery the same day. 22 days ago. Seems like a lifetime!! I have lost 16 lbs since surgery. I was disappointed in the scales. They became my nemesis. So I decided to measure myself. I have lost 13-1/2" since surgery!! Talk about a pick me up. I'm doing Water aerobics. I'm fighting head hunger. It's a chore getting in liquids Proteins and Vitamins. Whoever said this is the easy way out needs to be slapped. You need to read the book Emotional first aid kit. It's designed for bariatric pts. Please hang in there. Regroup. Get your heart and head back in the game. Lean on your support group. You can overcome the food demons and achieve your goals!!

I was sleeves on 6/21. I have lost 14 lbs. the scales stalled. So I decided to measure myself. I have lost 13-3/4" since surgery. Look at your weight loss as a positive move forward. It will happen. Stay off the scale. Focus on Protein and fluids and learning how to transition into a new way of eating

Anyone having problems with having enough energy to exercise while on pre~op diet? Begging second week and I have no energy and lightheaded. I'm wondering how ppl have energy to exercise after surgery due to limited caloric intake. I'm following diet to the "T"
