getting hungry, not satisfied



Recommended Posts

boy will I be glad when Thurs gets here as I see my surgeon for a fill because I have noticed I eat more and more often and yes I have gained 4 lbs in 4 wks. I can't help it, I'm hungry.

Was reading on Lap Band Diva's on Facebook where some were eating for Breakfast a Protein shake and oatmeal, how can that be? Wouldn't that be too many cals? I mean I do a Protein Shake but then 3 hrs later I'm starving. My doc says eat whatever you used to eat just in moderation or what the band will let you eat, hello, if I ate pizza, hamburgers, chips/dip, junk like that I wouldn't have lost.

I pretty much have to eat something solid for Breakfast or it sets me up for hunger all day.. I eat turkey sausage links and eggbeaters for breakfast.. rarely a Protein Shake or bar but the solid stuff is what keeps me happy...lunch is chicken salad or chili then dinner some kind of meat with veg...sometimes if I feel hungry I do a Protein snack @ 3 pm or so .. I have had 2 fills total of 2 cc's in my 10 cc band.. so I am not sure that I have hit the "green" zone yet.. but most of the time I feel satisfied...

thanks Sharpie for the input. I will try that. I was doing the shakes because I was not getting enough Protein in, in a day.

Yeah. Hunger sucks. I usually skip breakfast and just drink Decaf coffee until lunch. I find that if I have anything solid early on in the day I just get SUPER hungry all day long. I try to just eat lunch and dinner with maybe a snack somewhere around 8:30pm. If you're hungry, eat. I also noticed that Protein seems to keep me satiated longer than carbs. For me it was important to get LOTS of fills as fast as I could get them to fight off the lion's share of the hunger.

Eat your Protein, drinking Protein shakes will never satiny your hunger, IMO.

My typical day is

Breakfast 1 egg &2 egg whites scrambled, 2 oz turkey spam. 184 cal, 22g Protein

lunch 1 can tuna & 1 greek yogurt, 200 cal, 30g protein

dinner 4ox chicken breast, 1/2c veggies, 140 cal, 23g protein

snack 1/4c dry roasted peanuts, 160 cal, 6g protein.

Hope this helps.

I have a really hard time eating in the morning, that is anything solid like eggs, with that said, I have found that if I put a piece of cheese in with a scrambled egg it goes down better that is why I choose to do the Protein Shakes plus I wasn't getting enough protein in so I was bumping up my protein by doing the shakes. Thanks for the input and suggestions.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
