afternoon hunger....



Recommended Posts

Is it just me, or does anyone else get extremely hungry in the afternoons? And what do you do to not eat and stay on track? I'm at a plateau, and it's driving me nuts. Especially since I can't quit eating in the afternoons! I used to just have a Protein shake, but now I'm just way too hungry. Or bored..... AAAGGHHHH!!!!

If you're still hungry after an hour or two you probably could use a fill? Or, is it your eating demon egging you on? It's hard to tell the difference from head hunger and real hunger sometimes?

What is your Protein intake at each meal? When were you banded, and how many fills have you had? Is the hunger a new experience, or have you had it since been being banded?

It isn't anything new by far, but had gotten better since I was banded June 12, 2012. I have 7 cc, since my last fill two weeks ago. But instead of getting better since my last fill, it has gotten worse. I'm so frustrated and confused right now....

The hot tea afternoon break calms the afternoon hunger devil for me. I have a chai tea bag with a dash of nf steamed milk and sf hazelnut Syrup. I buy a red tea chai since it is Decaf.

But I think the question about you needing a fill is more spot on.

That is strange. You've had the band for a while, so things should be settled, but you just got a fill, now at 7 CC and you are more hungry.

As hard as it is to believe, I vote you need another fill as others have said.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
