I seem to have very little appetite during the day. But around dinner and lasting until I fall asleep, I AM STARVING!!!! It seems as though its getting worse. I haven't been able to keep my calories under 900. Tonight I went all the way up to 1200. I have seen a dramatic decrease in my rate of my weight, as to be expected. I'm getting all my water and protein in. I'm on a PPI. I signed up with a gym today hoping if I up my intensity of my workouts my hunger will diminish. I am 8.5 weeks out from surgery and down 40 pounds. 25 since surgery. I want to nip this in the bud and get back on track. Any suggestions?

Where do you get them?

20 at 7 weeks

P.s I get most of my protein from shakes. I really don't like meat. Do you think upping my meat and egg intake will make me more satisfied? Just a thought....

How many carbs do you eat daily?

Welcome!!!!! Xoxoxoxo

Calories do you eat on average daily? I'm trying to stay at 800 but I am finding I'm hungry. I drink water constantly so I don't think its thirst. I take a ppi. I don't think its head hunger because I can feel my blood sugar getting low. I get 60-90gms of protein a day. Just curious as to how many calories others are eating and still losing weight. Thanks!

I'm having it right now as I type. I interpret it as my sleeves way of telling me its hungry. It's a bit like cramping. I'm sure its pretty normal and nothing to worry about.

MICHELLE what kind of shakes are you using?

I crave diet soda Sooooo much!!!!!

I seem to be able to eat more than I think I should be able too. For example a whole granola bar....I'm 8 weeks out. Do you think I've stretched my sleeve?

Your doing great! I'm 8 weeks out and down 20 pounds. My doctor said that was average. So you are doing fantastic

P.s. have you spoken to your Dr.? Maybe you would benefit from an antidepressant. I am on one and it has helped me.

No your not going nuts. I am the same way. It is awful feeling. I'm so sorry you are experiencing this. I just try to focus on the weight loss. Are you almost to goal? How many calories, protein, carbs etc. do you eat daily? What kind of exercise are you doing?

Emotions are completely normal. It is just as the previous post said. You have been flooded with estrogen. 100 lbs! Wow! I'm 2 months out and only down 20. What are your secrets? I would like to speed up my loss.

I had the same itchy tummy. I put neosporin and hydrocortisone on the spots. The neosporin helped the most. Good luck.

So I let my blood sugar get way too low. In my feverish attempt to raise it, I scarfed down an entire piece of pizza!!!! Surprisingly my sleeve didn't revolt as I would expect....I am so mad at myself. I should have grabbed a protein drink instead. I probably stretched the heck out of my sleeve! Who would thunk pizza would be a skidded!?!?

Oh yes!!!!!

Costcos shakes have 30 grams of protein. 2-3 daily would meet your protein requirement. They recently started carrying vanilla too. I like the chocolate better but the vanilla is good for smoothies.

What type of shakes do you use Michelle?

First off for you low carbers...what is the difference? How do you figure it out? Do you count your net or total carbs? I was looking for some low carb options today. Came across some adkins bars. They advertise 24 carbs but "only 4 net carbs." Would you count the the 24 or the 4?

Ok that sounds like a plan to me!!!!!

Sounds like low iron to me....

Tiffykins what do you eat to stay under 30 carbs? Everywhere I turn there are carbs carbs carbs!!!!

Dreamlife have you been sleeved get?
