I feel this way too, it has been difficult for me to know when its hunger or just "wanting". My brain is still the big girl I was when surgery took place, wanting to eat all the things that taste good, just because they taste good and I didn't feel "full", so why not? But I learned my lesson, the quick eating, the over eating, only took me two times to see how much it SUCKS! Running to the bathroom to throw up has happened to me twice, all because I ate too much too fast and my stomach could not handle it. Of course something that I was told would/could happen. Though I have fixed that, I fee like, sometimes I see things that I still just want to eat, does that ever go away? Will I always just have to tell myself "no, you dont need it"?

This has been the same for me, during week four when I finally got to start eating regular food, I feel like my weight-loss has came to a stand still. I'm eating protein, then veggies if I feel hungry still (which I rarely do) and water has not been a problem for me... I know it is not a "fail" but it feels that way, right off the bat. The program I am on encourages 3 meals a day with no snacking... I had my one month post op appt. today and said, too bad, I get hungry every three-four hours and if it isn't meal time, I eat a piece of fruit or some veggies. They advised that, "though that is not the goal in the long run, its ok to do these things to get you in the right frame of mind until my body adjusts fully." I have a hard time looking into the future and not seeing my life this way, however, everyday, things change and I guess I'm just gonna keep working the plan and hope for the best. I want this too bad to fail. All you have to worry about is today, tomorrow will come and that is the time to think about that is what I have read.
