I had RNY gastric bypass in august 2020. It’s true what they say, that wls is just a tool and you’re still going to have to work hard to get to your goals!

But I’m super surprised that my hunger levels don’t seem to have changed very much. I feel hungry every couple hours, when I was hoping to be one of those people who didn’t think about food very often.

My weight loss has slowed because of this, so I’m wondering if anyone else experienced this and has any tips. Thanks!

I'm nearly two years out and sometimes experience "hunger days" when I have urges throughout the day to satisfy my hunger.

When I'm having one of those days, I use MyFitnessPal to log everything I eat throughout the day, and I concentrate on low calorie snacks (e.g., a grape is 3 calories) to quell the hunger pangs. I make sure I don't exceed my recommended daily caloric intake this way.

One of my best "cheats," however, is to drink a cup of coffee because for some reason it usually stops my hunger cravings for several hours.
