how has surgery impacted your hunger?



Recommended Posts

It helped for a short while. But I still had a lot of head hunger. Now the hunger is back, and I'm just very relieved that during my honeymoon phase, I had the chance to learn to crave new healthy foods. It's not that I don't stray or have cravings for bad foods, but I'm very satisfied with eating healthy meals.
I have a fairly large capacity, so I choose to fill my tool with lots of leafy greens, raw and al dente veggies, limited healthy fats, limited dairy, and great dense lean Protein.< br>
I'm craving some serious salad greens. It's a new feeling but I'm just waiting for the day when I can have it!

Right now what I crave most is taste and flavor.I feel like today everything tastes like flour paste. And way back in my little Frustr8 days I did eat paste, got to be a school paste connoisseur. Carter's was the company that had the smoothest and best. I ate it partly for boredom, but mainly to stave off hunger until I could get real food. Yeah, even back then the Ghrelin monster had reared its ugly head
Just like I have alluded in the past, some people are BORN TO BE WILD ; well I definitely was BORN TO BE FAT and even the times I fell within normal parameters, under-cover lurked Obesity, just biding its time until it could reclaim me as its😪🎪 own.

I still do not have a lot of stomach hunger, small pangs and if I am out shopping I can go a very long time without eating.

Head hunger is always around - see food - oooo I want that, never mind I am not hungry. It improves if you are not in crisis or anxiety mode.

It also helps to seriously enjoy the food you do eat, buy the shrimp, the asparagus, the tiny brussels sprouts sprinkle with sea salt and sliced almonds. Don't eat distracted, no phone, no TV, not in the car - unless unavoidable circumstances arise, use small salad plates, chew, chew, chew. Good luck.

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

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
