Does anyone find you can eat more



Recommended Posts

Certain times of the month? There are times when I can barely eat and other times I feel like I'm eating more.

I'm seven months out. Not eating slider foods. High Protein and veggies. Also, noticed sometimes I'm hungrier than other times.

Just wondering if it's something other people have experienced.

Does that time also coincide with "that time" of the month??

I have experienced the same thing. I had a follow up appt yesterday with surgeon and he said that it was my old habits and my body wanting to have the sugar and carbs it was used to getting before. He warned me about regaining the weight if I didn't stick to the Protein and fluids regime. Also warned about the carbs that increase insulin which increases appetite. I don't know if this helps but it made me think about my goals and reevaluate things.

No, not really. Just maybe feel like my sleeve is more restricted at certain times. Guess hard to explain

I get that certain days... Like the last two days eating has been to comfortable:( but other days I can barely eat. I know if I'm stressed my sleeve seems to tighten up and eating is harder ...

I was just thinking about posting the same thing! I am eight months out and I feel like the last few days my sleeve has been super restrictive. I don't feel like I've been eating any larger portions than normal (for me) but I keep getting that sick-full feeling. It does not correspond to my time of the month or PMS or anything. Actually, it kinda makes me happy (not the sick part) because I haven't been losing much weight the last two months. I hope this continues and I will definitely back down my portions!

I get these hunger urges mainly between 10:30am and 12:30pm. Not sure why! Eating mostly high Protein and veggies at 8 months.

I have found that I can eat more now but I havent been on track tho. Today I am going back to the basics Protein shakes and lettuce meals in between. That was part of my pre op diet

I have noticed to that some days I have much more hunger than other days. Also some days I can eat more than others. I am past that certain time of the month so not sure why it happens.

I also find the same thing. Some days I can eat more, then others I feel so much more restriction. Some days I'm hungrier than others, too.

What are you all considering "slider foods?" I mean, the obvious is ice cream & I try to stay away from that. What are other slider foods??

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
