I'm soooo hungry!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

Been lurking around alot, not posting too much but keeping up with everyone. Just thought I'd check in and say hey. I'm about four months out and doing well. Only, the past two days I've been STARVING!!! It's not my time of the month so I wonder what gives? I do have restriction because I've been getting the golfball sometimes, but I am soooooo hungry no matter how often I eat! I'd been doing great up to now and have lost 33 pounds, had great restriction, not too much not too little. Currently at 1cc in a 4cc band. I go for another fill next week (it's only been five weeks since my last one). I wonder if I simply need a fill. Lately I can feel food "plopping" into my tummy after I swallow and after getting the golfball sensation. Anyone else feel this? It's like it's plopping right out of my pouch and into my big stomach! Would love to hear from anyone with similar problem. Hope my fill next week takes care of this hunger!!! Let me list what I've eaten so far today (and I'm sitting here with my tummy rumbling):

Luna Bar: 180 calories

5 medium shrimp, lightly fried: 150 calories

Brocolli: 20 calories

3 Dunkin Donuts Munchkins: 200 calories (I know this is bad!!!)

1/2 a bagel: 160 calories

1/2 ounce cream cheese: 50 calories

Jam, 1 tsp: 25 calories

Latte, homemade: 50 calories (half cup milk)

Total: 835 and I haven't even had dinner yet which will probably be like 500 calories or more so I am going over my goal of 1,000 and I'm STARVING!!!

Anyone with similar story?

I know how you feel!! Lately I have been sooooo hungry! Or nothing seems to satisfy me! I can have a bowl of Cereal and then 30 minutes later want something else. And I know that I have restriction but it's the hunger that gets me! It's like I am getting enough to satisfy the hunger pangs but after awhile I am famished!! When I don't think I should be. :confused: It confuses the hell out of me!!! I have been bouncing around the same 4 pounds and can't seem to get them off!!! GRRR! :grouphug: I think I might start drinking Water when I feel hungry....maybe I just need some good ol' water!!!! Could be, who knows!!! :faint: I don't feel the "plopping" but I do feel like just eating everything until I am satisfied! Cravings are bitch too! And so are them golfballs! Still get those too...:think

I'm only 11 days out and I feel the "plops" which is really interesting considering I'm still on liquids. When I drink Water or eat Soup I can feel the "progression" of the food where I never could before. It's the STRANGEST feeling! I'm so much more aware of what is happening in my stomach now! I can feel the "full" sensation of my pouch filling up and about 20 minutes later it's like someone pulled the drain on the tub and I can feel everything moving "south"

I'm also super hungry all the time but I think it's because I let myself have some more solid type foods before I should have and now my body knows what it's missing out on. And it doesn't like me very much for withholding from it! :)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      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!!
