the first 2 weeks after surgery were fine...I lost 23 lbs......now I am in my 3rd week and I am hungry all the time and have gained 2 lbs back....the ounce of food 3 times a day and protein drinks and water don't get me full. I have that rumbling in my tummy saying feed me.....and it is not in my head....although I do get a headache if I don't eat something.....I don't understand why, I thought that hungry feeling would go away atleast for a little while....even after I eat I feel hungry...I am worried that something else is wrong.....could I have a leak or something worse?? What am I doing wrong? I shouldn't feel like I am hungry especially right after I eat....

How are you now? I'm so hungry.... this diet is so hard.

I'm doing better but yes, I am hungry....I am able to eat 1.5 oz of protein and fruits and veggies now so I had a slice of pinapple this morning and one this afternoon and that helped allot. I have lost more weight, a total of 27 lbs as of Monday. I think I was sick with a cold before and that is why I thought I felt hungry when really it was a stomach virus....I am better now except I have always got migraines and I seem to have to take a migraine pill every day (normally around 4 or 5:00 in the afternoon) and I think that is from being tired and hungry....yes, this diet is very hard, but we can do it! I had my surgery on 4/18 so I am 4 weeks out today. When was your surgery and how are you doing?

Hang in there...l am experiencing similar things. I had surgery on april 12. I have no problem eating. The fullness l thought l would feel l dont always feel. I make a conscious decision to stop eating. Some foods have made me sick like peanut butter. Sometimes l think may eat too fast and dont give myself a chance to feel full. Beside the weight loss sometimes l dont feel like l had the surgery. I have a difficult time getting all my fluids in. I have to get into a better routine. You mentioned headaches...that could be a side effect of not drinking enough. Good luck!

I am the same way ! I think I could chow down because I don't get the full feeling. I just make a conscience effort to stop.

I am now finding out I can eat more of the slider foods and it is very frustrating!

Yes, Vamp. I'm not quite 3 weeks post op and I never got tat full feeling. I wish I did. I just have to be very careful, and it's kind of discouraging this early in the process.

Vamp- what do you consider "slider" foods? I hear everyone talk about them but no clue what they are!

I'm almost a year out down about 100lbs sometimes I get the full feeling sometimes not its weird but I get headaches as well

I agree sometimes the headaches are just not drinking enough Fluid. Don't understand slider food? What's that?

I also don't get the full feeling but if I don't make a conscience effort to stop I will get the yuck i dont feel good feeling. I'm still learn what my new tummy can do.

I never feel hungry since my surgery, its still so strange.

Pre 404lbs

Now 177lbs

Wow frank that's awesome!!! You're my inspiration !!! My surgery is next week I'm 367

Slider foods are like crackers, pretzels, tortilla chips and such. They're called sliders because they slide fight through your pouch without giving you that full feeling. Its best to avoid them

Yogurt is a good source of protein, though. I buy the sugar free, fat free which is like 80 calories.

Kroger car master is only 60 calories! A variety of flavors. The nutritionist recommended them. I use them as one of my meals. And u r right an excellent source of protein.
