I'm fairly new to this site, however, I will be almost 4 months post sleeved on December 17. Lately I have been feeling hunger pangs and really crave sweets. I drink more than the recommended amount of Water.< /p>

Why am I hungry all the time?

Are you eating enough Protein? I am 5 mths out and when I feel hungry, I have some protein and it takes it away. If you are craving sweets, cutback on your carbs.

If you are craving sweets, try 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 tablespoon of sugar free strawberry preserves stirred into it. It has 120 calories, 13 grams of Protein, and 6 carbs -- and it tastes great, too! I only have 20 carbs (or less) per day, and they all come from green vegetables and the cottage cheese mixture.

When you are hungry, just have some Protein. I eat 8 times a day, about 90 minutes apart, so I am eating all day basically. In between, I have to get the fluids in. (I take a longer break between the first and second times I eat in the morning to spend about an hour each time drinking Water.) If you do all of that, there isn't time to be hungry!

Good luck.

What do you eat each day? How many calories? Protein? Carbs?

If you are eating carbs they are going to make you crave carbs. I don't eat carbs, I don't crave sweets.

I am almost 17 months post op and I am rarely ever hungry. I have to remind myself to eat most of the time. Are you physically hungry or head hunger?

I eat a mixture of both Proteins, veggies and carbs. What I eat everyday varies from day to day. I will try your approach and stay away from carbs. For example today I had a spinach omlet for Breakfast and grilled chicken for lunch. Snacked on almonds.

I stil, have a Protein shake for Breakfast. Other Proteins I eat are tuna salad, chicken salad, grilled chicken, pork temderloin, filet, ground sirloin, eggs cheese, and occasionally a Protein Bar. Atkins chocolate peanut pretzel is my favorite. I also like Quest bars but they are sweeter.

I feel hungry when I forget my Prilosec. Acid mimics hunger pangs.

That's a thought, I stopped taking my prilosec, maybe I should start them up again.

      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.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
