Today has been terrible ! I have wanted to eat everything in site. I am really hungry.

Drink water and get out of the house and walk. If it continues, have a protein based 100cal snack.

What phase are you on? I had to be on Full liquids 30 days.

have you had a fill? Are you measuring your portions? Until you have fill restriction it's a hard time.

If so then find something else to do instead of eat.... Doing something with your hands is a good start.... I have a friend who knits. She says it keeps her from eating because she doesn't want to get the yarn dirty.

Ive not had a day this challenging since pre op. Definitely mind over matter.

make sure you are writing down everthing that you have eaten today---any triggers that come to mind.

I'm so sorry that you have had such a difficult day, but tomorrow is another day, start fresh drinking Water, getting in all your Protein first, journel, and spend sometime doing some pre planning for what you will be eating for a day. Good luck. Effie---You are not alone!!!

All I can say is welcome to bandster hell... 4 weeks post op can be tuff, no restriction... so what to do?

I drank alot, whenever I felt hungry i drank 8ozs Water and if i was still hungry i ate. Most times the water was enough. I also preoccupied myself, went for walks, did crafts anything but eat.

Its not easy, but its not forever either. You will survive. Good luck.

I seen that u were from wv. Me too!

There will be days like this. You have to just try to do other things to keep yourself occupied. Clean, drink lots of water. Go walk, brush your teeth ( yes that helps with hunger) start exercising.

Dang Cheryl, you always have to say what I wanted to say! YOU can do it! It is the first day of the rest of your life!

I am only three week post-op and have luckily been ok. On Sunday, though, I felt really hungry. I had a hot cup of tea and the feeling subsided.

Hope today was better than yesterday!
