I struggle with head hunger and the drive to exercise, but so far have been doing well with that the past few weeks. Oh and Water intake.

I HATE cold food. Having to eat a small amount slowly is driving me nuts. Waiting between bites so it doesn't hurt is smart but cold food at the end is nasty. Hopefully this too will pass. 4 weeks out!

Definitely head hunger. I am 5 weeks and 1 day post op and I am that person that always FEELS hungry even when I am not. I have to plan ahead what I will eat for the day on the day prior and I find that knowing what and when I am going to eat curbs the head hunger a bit.

Also, I seem to want to eat every 2 hours or so and I was hoping that would subside and I could get to just 3-4 meals each day. That will happen, right?

I am the same with planning my day the day before. Else I'll obcess about what to eat.

I am a recovering 'Sugar Addict"...Everytime I try to get out, Krispy Creme tries drags me back in by developing another delish pastry the size of my head. I work in a large office building, and there they are, every morning!!..I drag me and my coffee back to my office.. donut free. I gotta get a Kerig in my office. But so far, so good, Im not tempted, just incredulous at the size there getting!

I really want to guzzle a lot of Water and milk! Not sip it, or just 3-4 swallows at a time

. Guzzle it, cuz I love water!

I miss cooking my meals. I haven't found it worth my time to cook a piece of fish, or one piece of meat which will last me a couple of days. Already I've got baggies in my freezer with little portions of what I've cooked to date. I've just gotten small containers of chicken salad from here or there, or whatever. I have to get better about this, though.

Bowel movements: I love the normal ones, shape and size, curly swirl. Now, rare and kinda like baby poop. I took two Perdiems last night and...it was a great morning today :-).

But, six weeks since the vsg and 30 pounds are gone, so I won't complain about these things, and that includes a one week stall ~4th week.

I still struggle with ....wanting (in my head) diet coke! I had GS surgery in May 2013. I gave up diet coke at end of March cold turkey ( weaning off didn't work for me). I did not realize I was addicted to diet coke until this surgery. It is still very hard, but I am staying strong and not giving in. I work on Water, Protein, and supplements.< /p>

      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! 😞
