I felt that I was hungry all the time until I started eating "real" food. Are you getting all the Protein in? That helps. And enough liquid.

I am 5 months out and looking back I feel that I was having more acid issues. Not hungry issues.

I also found that taking my anti acid meds at same time every day helped and they do take a few days to get into my system.

I only was eating 400-500 cals at 3 weeks out. It also took me a while to settle into a comfortable routine. I find that I can't "eat" in the morning. I do better with a cup of coffe and my 2 scoops of protien in my coffee. Get my Protein over with pretty much. That keeps me full with drinking my liquids.

hang in there you will keep trying different things and find the one that works best for you!

Awful lot of calories for this early out. Should be 600-800. Are you following basics 1. Don't drink with meals or 30 min before or after

2. Taking a PPI

3. Eating dense Protein first.

Try this and you should not be hungry at all. 1200 calories is what people eat in maintence.

You should be eating 800 calories a day. The Atkins diet is what worked best for me. Protein and dark green vegetables.

      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! 😞
