It's a head game. I was like that too. Protien, for me, seemed to really curb the sensation. Drink enough to where you can't and you won't be hungry anymore. You haven't hit the "off" switch yet from what it sounds like. I've gone to Sugarfree Popsicles to head fake my self. What ever it takes....stay on fluids ONLY
Best of luck. Hold Fast

Holla,
Week five is upon me (19 weeks of classes to go) and our little book recommends this beginner's walking table. Goal is to set the alarm fifteen minutes earlier, simply roll out bed, and stumble out the door for 10 minutes with incremental increases over the next 12 weeks.
We'll see how it goes. I am a late-night exerciser with 11pm being my preferred workout time. However, with full-time work and school, it simply isn't realistic since it takes an hour or two to wind down post-workout.
The defining moment of "My G-d I need to change my body," hit after a 5k marathon—at my HW (386+ pounds), I had irreparably damaged my ankles from keeping middle-of-the-pack pacing in a severely morbidly obese frame; a fractured talus was the end of the line. The doc said no more running; with the very real possibility that I may never run again as subtalar arthritis has onset.
Was just 27 years old at the time.
So, I've decided to gingerly embark on this little walking program that my medical team cleared. Between this, yoga, and the Water sports, am hoping as I lose weight, the decrease in pressure on my ankles, the increase in bone density from proper nutrition, and muscle strengthening...perhaps when I drop below 200lbs., I'll be in a good place to run again without sustaining injury. Goal is September, 2017 for a slow 5k if my left ankle can hang.
In perspective, the running thing has really been the biggest blow in all of this. I am a natural marathoner under all this weight, and the fossilization of my joints and being told "no more" about broke my heart. Walking isn't anywhere near the rush of running--it would be like comparing walking up a flight of stairs to hiking the Highlands of Scotland. Since being ordered to stop running, I've tried it three times. Even without conditioning, I am (idiotically) able to handle 3.5-7 nonstop miles...but recovery takes upwards of ten days, and the inflammation/immobility is horrific.
After the last run in late-April, I decided to obey the Doctor's orders completely because I couldn't walk unassisted for three whole days.
Still roll down my window and shout at my people who are running down the road, though.
Once a runner, always a runner.
But...no harm in learning to walk before I run again, I suppose.
❤️

There shouldn't be a limit if sugar free. My NUT told me to have as many as I want - that it's similar to drinking crystal light. Be sure to get plenty of fluids and Protein.

Hi All,
I was sleeved 7/18/16. Yes I'm a newbie. Everything was going fine til a day or two. Bloated and uncomfortable. Water and Soup wasn't cutting it so I turned to icy treats. Wierd how it calms things down. I still will be aware of my limits, but man what a relief.
