After my sleeve surgery (12/12/16) the bariatric nurse told me that I would not feel hunger for about a year. Was anyone else told that?

So the last couple of weeks, I am HUNGRY all the time! Still eating the same, about 100g Protein daily, low carbs, working out and drinking tons of Water. I've lost right at 80 since surgery. Anyone else have this issue? I am scared.... it is truly a struggle, again.

It gets worse. I starve myself, no carbs in this house, and I cannot lose a pound after regaining 30 lbs.

Miss Robin is at goal, so she gets Peanut Butter.

For anyone wanting to keep losing... fill up on non-starchy veggies. Don't add fat unless you're Keto.

My favorite way of preparing veggies..

Uncooked: pick up a Tomato or bell pepper and eat it like an apple.

Cooked: boil things like green Beans and broccoli in an inch or two of Water (covered). When its pretty much done cooking, let the water cook off and the veggies brown (not burn). It caramelizes the naturally occuring sugars and yum yum. I frequently don't even have to add water to frozen veggies cooked this way.

... maybe not as healthy as lightly steamed, but I'll eat a bunch more of it and not feel deprived.

Also measure out 1 oz of nuts and have that if you are able to eat nuts. They are calorie dense and it will help curb hunger. Make sure you weigh your portion! The key is to find healthy alternatives stay away from processed sugar!!

I eat a ton of salads now. They are low calorie, healthy, and it works for me.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
