Hi everyone. I am 5 months post op and am not one of the lucky ones who lost my hunger. Sadly I've been hungry since I woke up from surgery. For the most part I can usually stay between 800-1000 calories a day. I'm considering taking an appetite suppressant to help with the hunger to get me down to my goal weight. I am still losing weight right now, but I know I could lose SO much more if I wasn't constantly hungry all the time. So, thoughts? Anyone else do this? I have emailed my dietician but have not heard back yet.

Interesting about the omega 3 fats. I am doing everything else correctly. Dense protein, no liquid calories, drinking properly. However I don't like fish and have been taking all supplements except omega 3. I will try that!

I have chobani yogurt for breakfast with a large coffee everyday than a piece of grill chicken with some salad maybe about a quarter then for dinner i have something similar, i have peanuts or almonds in between my meals :-)

No protein shakes anymore stopped sbout 4 months ago, my doctor did not feel i should take them anymore but im wondering if i should take anything to help me with my appetite !!

I recommend talking to your Dr. about the PPI. Some people have to try several before they get one that works.

What is PPI ?

Proton Pump Inhibiter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proton-pump_inhibitor Prilosec is a common one.
