Hungry

[It's all new 453]

I have had hunger from about 4 weeks on. I'm 14 months post op and I eat about every 3 hrs. Not full meals of course but maybe cheese and a couple of crackers or a couple of Peanut Butter crackers. My family jokes that my grandbaby and I have to stay on our feeding schedules or we aren't ourselves. Lol I take an acid reducer too but I'm still hungry that often. It hasn't effected my weightloss though that I can see. I just count the calories in for my daily amount.

It comforts me to read this! I too am on a pretty strict "feeding schedule" or I get very miserable very fast. But it hasn't affected my weight loss either.

I'm sure the hunger would sound scary not being sleeved yet, but it is much different than presurgery because after eating a very small amount of food you are stuffed again. You do, however, have to choose the foods you eat carefully - lean Protein first etc etc.

I take Prevacid - prescription strength - twice daily. I have had a major problem with reflux even before I gained weight. I tried many different acid reducers before finding that Prevacid worked whereas omeprazole and the like did not. Everyone responds differently I imagine.

I dont either..do u take dem an hour after Breakfast? And sumtimes u have to stop taking dem for a while becuz thy wont work..sumtime I take and im too still hungry so I just eat low cal stuff like activia lite. fruit. Crackers and cheese or ccereral with fruit so I cant gain weight do to my crazy appetite.

Im in the same boat with you all. Can someone just tell me how to get it out of my head please!!!!!

I know a lot of people don't have this problem. But I did. The first thing I heard when I woke up from surgery was my stomach "growling". It scared me to death! I kept thinking I'm not supposed to be hungry!!

But I try to ignore it until its time to eat. I eat 3 very small meals filled with Protein. I will eat 1-2 Snacks. Try to stick to protein or veggies for snacks. If I growl in between food time I drink Water to fill me up. The body often times mistakes thirst for hunger.

Tell him to stick with it. We all want people to notice. Pretty soon every single encounter will have someone saying how awesome he looks.

I use to take it but it was to high with insurance. But boyee did I love it. It worked excellent and that was before surg. Maybe once I have ins again I will ask my doc to change me back. I take 40mg of omeprazole which is perscript strength of prilosec.

Once in a while my doctor perscribe adipax 37.5 mg to me and I mite take only 8 to ten a month to help me with apetite control but im not saying u shud im just saying wat my doc do for me..i want to make myself clear before I get badgerd here..

I don't want to have to take Adipex that's the reason why I had the operation. Adipex is really bad for you and it gives me heart palpitations. As for the people who have yet to be sleeved. Yes i get hungry and probably eat every 2-3 hours however I only eat a small amount. It's not like it was. I had hoped I wouldn't be hungry at all and had no thought of food but thats unfortunately not the case
