Thought once I had the surgery that I wouldn't be hungry but seems that I am still hungry. But not able to eat like I use too end up purchasing too much food and not able to eat half of it and I usually start hurting because too full. Is there something that I can do so that I don't over eat because unable to eat everything that I am buying and end up throwing a lot of food away.

Ditto web chickadee!!

These are all good practices just take it very slow...

I feel hungry often too and I'm going to try and increase my Nexium and see if it helps.

Going out to eat with husband, family, & friends is a part of my life that I've had to adjust too because portion control while visiting is hard for me. Now I keep 2 oz. plastic condiment cups in our cars, so I never forget to bring them and can measure my food before eating. I order and ask the server to bring a to go box with my food, so after I measure it I put the rest away. Once I experienced overeating at a restaurant, I never wanted to do it again. The little cups help me enjoy the experience without overeating. At home I use 1 and 2 oz. ramekin (souffle) cups to measure everything.

What I did is weighted my food that I am only eating the food the weights 3.0 oz or less and today I am getting the stuffed feeling. But I need to change some of my eating habits too.. Plus started walking again and I am going to continue to walk until I lose down too 135lbs. Plus on the july 16th I am going to start really working out. Because my Dr. doesn't want me to do any working out until it has been 2 months after my surgery.

I'm 8 days post-op. Does that mean all the little gurgles and what feels like hunger pains is acid or gas or both? Im taking Omeprazole once a day, Maybe I should increase it?

Sorry, not trying to hijack your thread, bu t I had the same question about the hunger part.
