Feeling Hungary More Often



Recommended Posts

Well then would you purée a cheeseburger and give it to a toddler?

Ummm, in principle, yes? Why not?

I probably wouldn't puree it because it's gross, but as soon as kids have some teeth, why not?

About the posts abover concerning a "stuck" scale, try eating a high quality extended release shake at bed or up to an hour before bed. I try and do this daily, but sometimes forget or last meal was too close to bedtime. The extended release Protein will help with hunger during the night ( if you have it), keep your body from going into the fasting/ starvation mode and also may increase your daily protein just enough to move the scale. I find that when i do not do this, the scale will stall or be a very slow mover. It really makes a difference. Good luck.

Thank you and good luck to everyone that provided positive support to my comment yesterday, I'm new at this and like everything else it's a learning process..... To those who felt the need to judge me, really, are you that perfect??? However, good luck to you as well.

I'm sure it's a bit different for everybody, but for me, I get hungry but a small meal satisfies me for 3 hours or so.

I'm also 3 months post op... and I had the same feeling, and I ate some bad choices.... I don't know what happened, but suddenly I could eat more and a lot.... but people told me it would pass.... u just have to wait it out, but make right choices of food.... and to be exact it also happens during my period....

Make sure you are sipping and drinking all day and that you wait 30 minutes after meals to drink. This will make you feel fuller. I constantly drank all day when i wasn't eating and still ate several small meals and was never hungary. Also atleast one rtd Protein Drink in the afternoon will really fill you up and it will take awhile to drink it.

I have been eating 100-150 (3 oz) of some Protein every 3 hours since switching to solids. It has been working well with 90 lb down from July 2nd. Recently' date=' I have noticed that after an hour ( usually after the lunch meal), i am hungry a little. I have to remind myself i just ate an hour ago and can eat in 2 hours. It usually passes after this little pep talk. However, I also make sure I get something to drink if i have not started yet after eating. Good luck.[/quote']

You touched on a great point. Even after VSG some self control is still necessary.

I sip on an Isopure 0 Carb ready to drink bottle throughout the day. I split the Isopure into 2 bottles and fill the bottles with a complimentary zero calorie flavored water. It makes the Isopure taste better. Provides a total of 40 gr Protein and 40 oz fluids (both bottles). That provides a bit a protein throughout the day. Seems to help the hunger a little. I am having trouble getting in enough calories - haven't made it over 400 calories yet (I'm 2 1/2 weeks post surgery). But I feel great and my surgeon seems OK with what I'm doing...... I'm sure that next week, when I start pureed foods, it will be easier to get my calorie count higher.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
