Is it normal for me to eat something and then still be hungry. I am 63 days out. For the past week I have not drink any protein in but i did get my water in is this why I feel so hungry because I had no protein? I AM FEELING LIKE MY SURGERY DID NOT WORK!!!!!!

Protein keeps you full and satisfied longer. So yes, it's possible that's why you're hungry.

If you're not having protein, what are you eating?

The surgery isn't supposed to be magic. You have to put the work in to be successful. That means following the rules....protein first, lots of fluids, no processed sugar or carbs and moving more. You do those things 90% of the time, it will work.

I just been eating mashed potatoes or grits veggies. I know the surgery is not magic I wanted something different besides a protein drink and water I don't do sugar any thing like that and I don't eat after 8 pm.

Too many carbs. Starchy carbs cause cravings and hunger. Did you say you were 63 days out? Can you have lean proteins like fish, chicken and beef? They will keep you satisfied much longer.

Oh my. Just like Babbs said, you're eating too many carbs so of course you'll be feeling hungry. Carbs cause carb cravings and not eating protein is going to make it even worse. Protein is absolutely the first thing you eat and should be the large portion of any meal for the rest of your life.

It doesn't matter if you aren't eating sugar. Simple carbs like potatoes or grits act just like sugar in your body and the more you eat them, the more you'll want to eat them.

And not eating enough protein will really screw you up - your body will start burning muscle instead of fat, your skin and hair will suffer and the fatigue will get worse... not eating your protein is just all around super bad.

chicken, fish, beef, low carb yogurt, cottage cheese, regular cheeses, high protein/low carb milk (like Fairlife or Mootopia), Beans (refried are awesome with a bit of cheese and/or sour cream)... there are so many things you could be eating that are way better for you.

Your sleeve isn't the issue; it isn't the problem - your food choices are.

Please do the reading and research on here for good protein meals and recipes, as you are heading down the wrong road right now, but you can turn this around if you're willing to try. Good luck!!
