How long ago did you have surgery? Sometimes your mind thinks your hungrey and your not. It gets better.

Are you following your doctor's eating schedule and eating the appropriate foods? You may be just head hungry. This habit of constantly eating is a difficult one to break. I follow my doctor's orders to the "t". I eat 3 meals a day and have Snacks when I need a little something. When I get home from work I am pretty hungry at times but as soon as I have a couple of table spoon full of food I am stuffed and don't eat anything for the rest of the evening, or maybe a surgar free, fat free ice pop. Have you discussed your problem with your doctor?

Sorry to hear that Pazzo. I wish I could take some of your hunger for you, as I have the oposite effect, I am never hungry and dont eat but a bite or two a day. Your doctors office cant help by setting up a payment option so that you can at least get an appointment to be seen?

I went through the same thing at about six months. I needed to start drinking a lot more. My Dr also told me to eat things of substance cuz the foods I was eating like yogurt and granola wasn't staying with me. So I changed m Breakfast to eggs and snacked on almonds when I felt hungry and it really helped. Good luck to you:)

Are you getting enough Protein and eating the Protein first?

My Nut pounds that into my head all the time. The protein releases some sort of hormone that tells our head that we're full.

Hope this helps.

Hi.. I had the same problem... And i just realized its in my head. You have to get past that and once you do, you'll learn that sometimes thirsty feels like hungry. Drink some Water and it'll go away! I used to think about food 24/7... And now when i have to eat, i make sure its something hethy o just keep me alive....

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
