I think we all can relate to that one! I'm sure you've heard all the "tips." Try eating slower. Chew each bit 20-30 times. Use a smaller plate--it looks like you have more food. Lean Protein fills you up faster. If you are eating a lot of the unhealthy carbs (like bread, crackers, chips, Cookies, etc), they give you MORE of an appetite. The more you eat of them, the hungrier they make you.

Meanwhile, the better you can follow whatever eating plan you have been given to follow before surgery, the easier everything will go for you.

A lot of your "hunger" could be what is called "head hunger." (Your brain tells you you're hungry, but your stomach is full). You might want to do some searches about that (if you haven't already). People still have head hunger after the sleeve.

Ask your surgeon too why you're hungry ALL THE TIME. His/her answer most likely will be the same as it is for all of us--we just have big appetites! But if there is any medical condition, they will do all the tests necessary before your surgery to be sure you are healthy to undergo the operation.

Good luck.
