I am so hungry. What do I do? Go on liquids to lose weight because I want to eat everything.

If you're hungry going on liquids would be totally counter productive because you'll just get hungrier.

Increase your protein' date=' it finds the hunger.[/quote']

Ok I will try that. Thank you

Find a nice thick Protein shake that you like.

I use the chocolate body fortress whey powder from Walmart. 8oz of unsweetened almond breeze milk, 1 scoop of the whey powder with a little bit of ice and blend into a nice thick smoothy. It will give you 27grams of Protein. Healthy and filling.

I always feel hungry! I'm just glad that I no longer feel like I'm starving! However, I have never been able to tolerate fills. I'm working with my surgeon with that right now. I agree with everyone else, protien is the key. Stay away from the foods that don't keep you satisfied for very long! I love my sugar free Popsicles and sugar free pudding between meals when I get hungry. It makes me feel like I'm cheating without really cheating!

Eat! :) Just as the others have said. Possibly consider whether you are at correct restriction, or need to see your surgeon for an adjustment.

It's now 4pm where I am, I had some coffee this morning about 9am, went on a nice bike ride in the cold!! :( , and just now have the urge to have my first meal of the day. For me, the band does this, now that I have gotten to that restriction level.

I NEVER HAVE HEARTBURN/REFLUX, EVER. I don't get stuck, as long as I eat correctly. I just don't feel hungry all the time, like I did even two months ago.

It took me a loooooooong time to get to this point, but I'm in the green zone, no doubt. And loving it! Best of luck to you, and NEVER, EVER give up on you! YOU can do this. :)

Bandster Hell is ......well hell! Really focus on getting Protein in. This helps me alot! I know it seems intolerable....but give it some time. Try and thwart your attention to something else. Sometimes if I am obsessing about food...things feel bleak. Try and keep busy. But eat your protein!

I just noticed you are 6wks post op. I would try eating more solid Protein, instead of Protein Shakes. Solid protein will stay with you longer.

chicken, tuna, eggs,lean meats etc...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
