Does anyone have days where they just feel ravenously hungry? Just asking because I do feel hunger and a girlfriend of mine who also had surgery said she feels like she has some day where she feels like she can't get enough food...I do the Protein thing everyday...I don't know if she does...Has anyone else had this problem??? Thank you.

If I go too long without eating I get hungry and stay that way for the rest of the day, the only thing that fixes it is to go to sleep at night and then it resets the next morning. To keep this from happening I eat something every couple of hours, even if its just a yogurt, Protein bar, or shake. I think it has something to do with my blood sugar but that is just my personal opinion.

So to keep my calories in line I eat 3 meals at 250 calories each and 2 Snacks at 150 calories or less each.

Yep - some days it feels like you can eat a whole lot more than others and still aren't satisfied. On those days - it seems to be mind over matter gets me through (or bare knuckles). Luckily, those days don't happen that often. I notice it at certain times of the month - along with the Migraines :ohmy:

Yup--same here! Some days I am so ravenous I try to curb the calories, but it's really difficult when it's genuine hunger. Every day seems different, but lately, I have been noticing I am getting pretty hungry in between meals and I am able to get things down much quicker than usual. Thank goodness fill #2 is scheduled for July 15.

OK I am still a little baffled here...When people say they eat one cup of food...is that for the whole meal? Or is that besides their Protein (like the meat)? I just got banded in March and have lost 57 pounds...it's starting to slow up a bit...exercise everday...just wondering...cuz I can eat a WW smart ones meal...is that bad???

LOL-- I have NEVER been one of those. I can eat a whole Lean Cuisine in one sitting and STILL be hungry! I know many say they can only eat one cup of food total for their meal, and I do try to keep it reasonable, but in no way does 1 cup ever satisfy me. I told my doc the same thing. He does all my fills under fluoro and I've never had a pouch issue (knock on wood). I'm very close to restriction too--I guess I just need to keep eating slowly so my brain will catch up with my tummy LOL! Next fill is July 15. I am thinking it will only be .2 or .3 ccs--I should definitely be in the green zone then. I HAVE to be LOL!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
