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.

      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.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
