Hunger

[shsd87 11]

I got my surgery on 11/20/17 and I stay hungry. I have lost weight from surgery day, 280, to now 261. I'm afraid that once I can eat "anything" I'll regain my weight. Because we have deprived our self in the beginning due to the surgery and food restrictions, I feel that I can possibly gain it. I'm now at my puree/soft foods but I feel that I'm eating more soft food as opposed to puree. I'm not even having an issue on eating the food or "full", I'm ok with the 2 Oz.

Is anyone else been thru this? I need more guidance. Thank you.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

The first stages Liquid soft puree can be a bit rough for hunger. . Make sure you are hitting your Protein goal 60-100 grams It will help with hunger. Log your food . It gets better once you get to the "real food" stage.

Hunger is a tricky thing to figure out. Sometimes it may be head hunger, Eating out of boredom or stress/emotional eating.

With surgery you will still feel real hunger at times. You will learn strategies on how to satisfy your new stomach. Eating three meals and two snack throughout the day. Keeping healthy options for sweet and salty cravings on hand.

Fear of weight gain can be a good thing. It will help keep you on track. Take it one day at a time. Work your eating plan.
