Feeling a little lost



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on Jan 31 of this year. So far I have lost over 53 pounds. My weight in Jan was 242 down to 189. My ideal goal is 160.

I'm hungry at times more then ever. Is this normal. I try to stay away anything possible that will make me gain weight again.

Has anyone else had this issue?

I am only 2 months post-op and I have no hunger. My nutritionist warned me it would come back, and take this time to retrain myself how to eat. Making better choices, healthier Snacks, etc.

With that, I would say it is normal. Maybe add a low calorie snack to your days?

I had surgery in in Sept. 2021 and have started to have hunger come back. I'm really having to focus on eating regularly, listening to my body, and fight of the urge to graze/binge. This is the work of WLS; the surgery itself only does so much. But what you are feeling is completely normal and nothing to be afraid of. Just time to roll up your sleeves and keep doing the work!

hunger returns for most people at some point during the first year. Mine came back at five months out. So yes - it's normal.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
