Satisfying the BEAS T (hunger)



Recommended Posts

HEY ALL!!! It's BigTex checking in! Just hit my 200 pounds lost goal 1 month short of being A year post OP. I'm noticing that Im getting hungry FAST. And I'm not talking about after eating light meals. I'm talking Protein dense meals. Tilapia, baked chicken, curried turkey(it's a gem try it!) I'll get hungry again in about an hour and 30 minutes. Anyone else have this issue? What did y'all do to satisfy the beast? It almost feels like I'm constantly eating/drinking something with high protein. Is this normal? Did a old witch put a curse over me? Do I need to sacrifice a goat? HELP!

big do you still track your food? if so what is you fat percentage? Fat will provide that full feeling longer and will not spike your sugar/insulin response to the degree of the other macro's

also you can "train" your ghrelin response so over time if you eat more often you get hungry more often it is a viscous cycle but will pass if given time.

so if you fat percent in you food is low try to bump up the fat to help you go longer between meals.

watch those sugars and simple carbs they will start you on that cycle of hungry every hour as those highly refined foods hit your system hard but wear off real quick and just leave you starving after.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
