My doctor told me about a Protein called GENEPRO yoh can get at GNC. Or had 30 grams of Protein, is flavorless and you can put 1 tsp(?) Into any beverage and it will not change the taste. You could try that and get your protein in.

If you are less than a year out and hungry at the time, especially immediately after surgery. You need to be on a PPI.

I'm hungry often because my metabolism is super charged. I'm an active person.

I eat every 2 hours, dense Protein.

If you eat carbs you will just want more carbs Since we can eat endless amount of carbs, starting carbs is a bad idea.

Are you a vegan?

Google search genpro, is is snake oil with little to no scientific proof to support their claims of being able to defy all known physics.

No, I haven't. Do you have the name of it? I would like to search it. I'm not a member of Costco, but have friends who are. I like the idea of my protein being flavorless because then I can put it in anything, plus my husband can use it to when we work out.

Hey, im 4 months out and i can relate. Theres days when im on overdrive that im famished and want to eat a horse. Takes alot to stick to my diet. I drink the Premier Protein shakes from bjs/costco. 30g Protein each whenever that happens n it helps curb my appetite a bit. Good luck.

I was using genepro but my NUT said stay away. It's false advertising. And that it's impossible to get 32 G protein in I tbls. I went back to injury unflavored. Little flavor but not bad at all.

Gene pro does have a lot of bad publicity and several pending lawsuits. I use paleo egg white powder I just put a 2 tbs on my pureed food or in my yogurat I can add more. In my Protein Drinks I had 4 tbs

30grams is 25grams of protein., and only 108 calories 1 carb

I never lost my hunger. I'm only 9 weeks out but I struggle with hunger pangs all the time.

same here. everyone kept saying that it was just in my head. I was having serious hunger pains and i was told that it could be just digestive issues. personally i know how both things feel and i still say it is hunger pain.

Are you taking a PPI? Acid can mimic hunger. At 9 weeks all of the nerves are not even reconnected to your stomach for you to feel hunger. Your body doesn't know the stomach is reduced yet and is still producing acid for a full size stomach.

I'm almost 2 years out and I have to go almost 24 hours without eating to feel hungry. The entire first year I had zero physical hunger

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
