I'm still pre-op, but I have read that this happens for a few days a month around that time for ladies who have already been sleeved. How long since your surgery? Maybe you could allow yourself a small indulgence then go back to your proper diet in the next day or two?

Goun thru a phase were I want to eat everything in sight' date='help me plz,advice.it might be TMI,but I just started my cycle,ughhhhhhhhhh I dont like this,[/quote']

Are you sleeved?

If so:

Are you eating late at night?

Eating late causes most people to be hungry upon waking. Eating no later than 3-4hrs before bed prevents this effect.

Are you eating more than 100g carbs per day?

Eating more than 100carbs/day for a period longer than 4 days causes head hunger cause carbs are mostly sugar and we are sugar addicts so we CRAVE it. Lower your ratio to under 100 for 3 days and youll break it.

Are you taking B12 supplement?

B12 Vitamin promotes hunger all by its lonesome.

Im almost 7 months out. One week out of the month I dont really like to eat, 2 of the weeks I am ok with food, and then for one week (around tom) I am hungry and have cravings. You know what I do-- nothing diffrent. I still log and track and eat the same foods that I do any other day. Who cares if you have a craving? If you dont give in it is not going to kill you, right? If I want something carby and full of sugar I make a deal with myself... If I still want it in a week ...I will have it. Sometimes I have it but most often I do not. This is just what works for me. Head hunger is aweful sometimes!

B12 promotes energy when combine with food. Not sure about it promoting hunger when eaten in isolation. As for hunger in the morning, I have found that eating an extended release shake at bedtime helps with both morning hunger and weight loss. I eat a small amount of Protein every 3 hours and usually do not have hunger issues. Meals are about 100-125 calories each. I am about 5 months out and have dropped 121 lbs and have about 40 to go. Drinking a lot of Water and exercising also helps stave off hunger.

B12 is what Bodybuilders been using since the beginning. Why do you think mostly all cattle feed contains B12. Heres a link http://www.synthetek.com/products/synthelamin-appetite-stimulator/

I didnt start taking B12 till 6 months post op. I did note an increase of eating more often while on B12. I am off right now because of lack of prescription for needles and I just never called for more yet. Eating is way less frequent now.

Sure. Syntrax matrix Cookies and creme is my favorite and the only one I have tried in last 4 months. There are some other flavors. I buy my supply from Amazon about 2 lb container every 2 weeks.

Your kinda early to be hungry. I was still trying to stomach Protein shakes at that point. A 42oz shake lasted me all day. Trust me I remember that all to well. Staying busy is the key to forgetting about eating.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
