Hello all, I am progressing nicely but I am having some struggling moments and thought I would seek help. First, I am feeling hungry every hour on the hour, I can take it throughout the day but at night it literally wakes me up and I don't want to eat bad, so what are you guys snacking on at night that is healthy? Also for the women who have monthly cravings, what are you guys snacking on?

Thanks for any input!!!

I totally understand you... I normally eat as a healthy snack some small chopped fruit, seeds, greek yogurt, half a cup of Soup or dried fruit:) Sometimes I even make myself some cooked ham rolls with low fat cheese..!

High Protein snacks! Cottage cheese, ham and cheese rolls, a few bites of a Quest Protein Bar,

It am almost three months post op and my monthly cravings are awful I eat bad each time.

Next month I am going to make a fruit and yogurt smoothie and see if that helps my sweet tooth because Cookies and chocolate will kill me in the long run.

My program doesn't allow Snacks. Are you on a PPI? My doctor keeps trying to take me off mine, but without it, the acid sure mimics hunger.

If I have a very light lunch (like today I had maybe a couple tablespoons of tuna), I might have a spoonful of nut butter (sunflower seed butter) a couple of hours later.

If you are hungry within an hour of eating it might be acid and/or thirst. Are you staying hydrated?

Otherwise, if you snack, make sure you plan for high Protein Snacks and record them.

I like string cheese, cheese, cottage cheese, Protein pudding, Protein Bars, etc.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      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! 😞
