Hungry when drinking enough



Recommended Posts

I have been making a big effort to drink enough because I can tell by my skin in not staying hydrated.

But I find I am more tempted to eat more when I'm filling my tummy with fluids all day. And it's more comfortable to eat. I'm finally understanding why you don't want to drink with meals. But even if I space it by 30 minutes I seem to have more "hunger" and more room. Anyone else find this?

You are not alone. I just finished the last of my 64 oz. I am in bed. I feel like I could raid the kitchen and eat another meal. I was perfectly full when I still needed 30 more gms of Protein. Well, I struggled and met that goal. I was relieved to not have to eat again; just needed to finish drinking. I finished drinking and sure enough here comes the hungries.

Perhaps we should get our 64 oz in early and make our protein last in our stomach to keep us from being hungry. It makes sense to go to bed with the feeling of satiation.

      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! 😞
