Hunger pains?



Recommended Posts

I woke up super hungry today. I'm having actual hunger pain. I already ate so much today and the hunger pang is still here. I thought maybe its heart burn so I took 2 tums and omeprazole still feeling the pains. I dont want to overeat bit I feel so hungry? Anyone ever experience this? (I'm 2 yrs+ PO sleeve)

Hahaha! I could have written this yesterday! So I let myself eat healthy dense Protein. For some reason, I'm craving cottage cheese, too! I had 109g of protein yesterday! OMG! LOL.

But today, I'm not very hungry! So it comes and goes. When I'm truly hungry, I eat. But I won't let myself eat "crap" empty food during those times.

Go eat a hardboiled egg! Or meat of some kind! ((hugs)) Also, lots of sugar in your guacchang sauce usually...so you could be having a blood sugar roller coaster.

Is that like gochujang sauce? I love gochujang sauce! I love that sweet, hot and fermenty flavor. I put a bit of it on almost everything now.

Look at the sugar content. I guess you just have to decide how or if it affects your weightloss, satiety, or hunger level. IFIFYM’s!

Starting to think its heart burn the meds seemed to have kicked in and the "hunger pain" is pretty much gone. I looked through yesterday's menu and couldn't find anything that may have triggered this. Will have to put it a really hard work out at the gym soon to burn off the extra calories I ate today and will do a 16-8 fast the next couple of days. Thankfully I didn't overdo it too much, and ate foods that are "on my plan"

I get this terribly at times and have to take a prilosec. That seems to sort me out.

I'm terrible with meds I dont even take Vitamins (gasp) they make me puke I've tried many types and companies. Luckily last time I checked my blood all my levels were great. I guess I'll have to be more proactive and start back on anti acids.

      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!!
