I am 6 weeks out and lately I've been hungry every 2-3 hours. Will this feeling go away? I hope so it's scaring me. I am trying to eat high Protein to fill me up for longer periods but it's not working like before.

So I am not alone. They must not have cut out our hunger sensor. Most ppl dont feel hungry what I see on blogs. Esp in Obesity Help blogs. We must not be normal. UGH!!!! I will be 1 yr out nov 27. Its a struggle day to day.

Girls, but I though we are allowed to eat every 3 hours. why you cannot just eat snack? ( healthy one). I am 2 weeks out and I am eating every 2.5 - 3 hours.

I had 80 grams of Protein today and I am still hungry. Going to bed so I don't think of food. I thought I wouldnt live meal to meal anymore but this week has been rough. I am also on a major stall. Haven't lost in awhile. Very discouraged!

Two things - first, I have problems with hunger too. I was sleeved in May and the hunger never went away. Just bad luck I think. About the omeprazole, I found it to be completely ineffective, I wonder if it might not be working adequately for you? Then again, perhaps we are just in the same boat and didn't lose our hunger.

I will say I don't sit around thinking of delicious foods, I stick to my eating plan 99% of the time, but I think it just makes it harder because I am fighting the hunger. Try to find an eating schedule that helps with the hunger (I eat 6 times daily, about 100 calories each time) and remember that getting in LOTS of Water will help.

I am scheduled for surgery on October 30 and this talk of hunger is terrifying to me. First of all I am starting out a hundred pounds mire than most people I am reading about. Now I am finding out that people are hungry! I know this procedure is only a tool that will allow me to achieve a healthy weight/lifestyle. Believe me, I do not take this lightly! I know there are people that gain their weight back but I cannot let that happen to me!! I cannot!! I am tired of caring the excess!! Good luck to those of you that have already had the surgery!! I hope it gets easier...

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.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
