OMG I'm 5 weeks post op and IM ALWAYS HUNGRY!!! If I wake up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I don't go to sleep right away I can't sleep because of the hunger pain!!!! I asked my surgeon and he said it was normal and better for my metabolism to eat every 2 hours. The most annoying part is that I have to pack a lunch pack every where I go. And the hunger pains are magnified 10 fold!

@@LipstickLady perhaps I should have been more specific. Agreed, definitely no seeds. As you can tell my suggestions don't include anything w seeds. But that's the rule of thumb my surgeon gave me. And it worked for me. Blending different foods gave me lots of options especially since I was struggling so much with the whole transition. Have a blessed day!

@@Maddy18 wow I'm jealous! Did you experience any stalls. Cause I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and I haven't lost anything more in the last 2 weeks. I lost 15 pounds the first week and no more weight loss the last 2 weeks. I've had really good responses from people explains why that has happened. So I don't feel so discouraged now. But just wondering, did you monitor carbs, no sugar in sure, or monitor caloric intake? I would love to hear how you did it!!

Embrace the Stall

Ok this is what I pack for lunch. I make chicken salad and put it in two small containers cause I'm hungry every 2 hours. I take string cheese, babybels and cottage cheese. I take enough to eat every two hours and plenty of Water. I also make fish and pack it up in small containers to eat at least 2-3 times a day for that day. Today I make a chicken enchilada casserole for my family but I made a small one for me without the tortilla. So it was a layer of shredded chicken, a layer of plenty of cheese (Mexican blend), and green enchilada sauce! It was sooo yummy i didn't miss the tortilla. I made enough to pack at least 5 small containers to take for lunch the next two days. Hope this helps

The premier Protein shake from costco was recommended to me by my doctor and other friends who have had the surgery. 30 grams of Protein and it doesn't make me feel sick. They have chocolate, vanilla, and strawberries and cream. Don't care for the strawberries very much

I had my surgery 4 weeks ago so I don't know if that makes a difference. But it's annoying how often I get hungry I have to carry a lunch pack with cheeses and Protein shake everywhere I go. Every 2 hours I'm eating and if I wait longer I feel dizzy.

My friend stopped losing weight at 30 pounds and she had to stop eating fruit and carbs. Once she went all Protein again she started losing weight again and has lost 65 pounds total in 6 months

That happened to me too at exactly the third week. I was so discouraged and frustrated. I just made sure I had nothing w sugar or carbs. Only Protein. Doing good so far. Not easy, but worth it.

I try to not go over 25 grams of carbs and no more than 15 grams of sugar.
