1 year and 3 months post surgery and I can't control my hunger !



Recommended Posts

I don't really have cravings for sugar. I find that sugar kind of gets me grossed out now. I have low carbs. Just be sure to eat more good food in your body and your body should adjust internally. Maybe your mind is resorting back to old habits? We have to break that. Remember the doctor saying you have to do a new way of eating. Get rid of bad habits. Figure out what is making you reach for it in the first place? Keep trucking along, you will do just fine!

This is a long-term journey, so the diet mentality doesn't work in terms of permanent success. The most important thing I have found when I can't control my hunger, or I have an uncontrollable urge to stuff everything I can into my mouth, it always seems to come down to nutrition. When my body is getting all the Vitamins, minerals and hydration that it needs I have no problem, but when my body need something specific to balance itself it will compel me to eat until it gets enough nutrition out of whatever I'm meeting to do whatever job it needs done. Down 130 pounds with 30 more to go. I don't get upset about it when I fall off the wagon. I just use my next opportunity i.e. the next meal to do better.

@@carfeli2004 Things that help me are adapting my recipes.

Cauliflower makes a great 'rice', mashed 'potatoes', cheddar 'tater'-tots, 'mac' & cheese, etc......

Spaghetti squash (my fave is with my homemade fat free cheese sauce and maybe a turkey hot dog)

FF/SF Cannoli cream made with FF ricotta

Lasagna made with roasted slices of zucchini and eggplant

Flourless Protein pancakes with unsweetened applesauce on top

Dannon Light & Fit Greek yogurt

I even have some recipes for super decadent Protein muffins, brownies and cakes. Using either Protein powder and/or Beans

Quest bars and chips (did you know that if you cut up and bake a chocolate chip cookie dough one, it tastes like little chocolate chip cookies!!??, watch carefully when baking, they only take a few minutes)

If you want recipes, feel free to ask, I love to share!

All of that sounds awesome and I'm not even sleeved yet! I might want to get some recipes from you. I will be starting my supervised 6 months eating plan this Tuesday.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
