Why am i hungry?

I am going crazy! I was sleeved on February 26. I am doing everything I am supposed to do. Why in the world am I so hungry? NO - it's not mental hunger as I know the difference. Anyone else experience this?

    Don't lose the plot just yet. If you're anything like me, you're going to feel weak for a good few weeks until you hit solids. Then, the game changes entirely. You can eat real food, with real calorie

I feel hungry sometimes, but knowing I can satisfy that feeling with just a small amount makes me feel less anxious about it. Making a good choice is sometimes the hard part. I recently spent a day eating more than usual because I was so hungry, and it actually kicked my weight loss in a bit in the next couple of days. Don't worry if you feel hungry, just try to handle it in the right way.

So how are you doing now? Thank you so much for sharing!

Hey I'm doing great!! My partner and I went out to dinner - he totally took the croutons off his salad and only ate half of one roll, I am so proud of him!!!

I shared my baby-back ribs with our daughter... I ordered a half-rack; I ate the meat from two ribs (minus a few bites that she took), chewing carefully and thoroughly and was TOTALLY perfectly satisfied!! It felt really great. The waitress even commented, "aw I guess you're just not that hungry huh?" And I was like, yep, I did fill up quick.." Haha

Before surgery I'd have ordered a full rack, sucked down every one of those ribs, eaten all the sides, two pieces of bread with butter, a salad, washed it down with iced tea, then put away a full-size dessert!

:) this is good stuff.
