Need some advice: I am 7 weeks post-op and have been released to a restriction-free diet and let me tell you...I am hungry all the time. Nothing really seems to fill me up and I feel like I am eating pretty much every 90-120 minutes.

I don't know if it is head hunger and if it is how do I break the cycle?

If it's not head hunger what can I eat that will fill me up and keep me satisfied? Protein doesn't seem to be working.

Also, I can eat about 8-10 ozs. at a time and this seems like a lot to me.

Please help! I don't want to sabotage my efforts so far and stop my weight loss and/or heaven forbid gain weight.

HELP!!!!

I am pre op but I think it may also be that you had just left a very restricted diet for weeks and this will pass after a while to some degree that you will not have the same hunger later. I can't tell you with out the experience myself but it seems while dieting I have been satisfied shortly after correcting or eating some more or just the stuff that my body does no longer crave as much added to what is different.
