Hi Guys, I was wondering if any of you had this problem - I am a month out now, and have lost 19 pounds but I feel like I need to eat constantly. I am trying to mostly eat healthy choices, like Tuna, chicken, vegetables etc etc, but I do have the odd chocolate maybe three times a week. Is this a huge problem? I feel like my entire focus is on food, and that I am constantly hungry. Anyone with some good advice for me? Thanks!

Constant Grazing...is It A Problem?
WLTrainee replied to WLTrainee's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi guys, Thanks for all the feedback here. I am not sure that I am grazing all day, I think eating every 2.5 hours feels like grazing - yesterday I was much stricter though, in sticking to the 2.5 hour rule, and I managed to drink much more Water, so I think it is definitely something to do with thirst. I also noticed on some other forums that the guys have been prescribed acid blockers, so I wrote to my doc and asked him to prescribe some for me. He said absolutely - so will be getting the prescription today. Will let you know how it goes. You guys are also so right about the chocolate - enough!!! No more!! Thanks for the tough love guys - who else would give me all this great advice!?! Mich -

WLTrainee replied to healthiermom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi guys, I was sleeved on Thursday 25 th oct and my doc warned me about that pain when sipping. He said that this happens when the stomach acids and the drink meets. I definitely have it though! Pain not so bad now, just waiting to be off Clear liquids - doc says nothing but clears for five full days. -

Banding In November 2012...
WLTrainee replied to WLTrainee's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
That's great that we are all getting it done in the same week - we might have to be pen pals in the first couple of weeks, and let each other know how we are all doing. I am nervous and my dr hasn't given me any pre op diet, just only liquids the day before. The post op is stricter though. I am so excited, I really feel that this is going to be the drastic change I need, otherwise it will just grow and gro and grow. No thanks! Good luck to all of you -
Calling Any South African's? Are You Out There?
WLTrainee posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Hi guys, Are there any South Africans on here? The advice is great on this forum and I am totally addicted to reading everyone's news, but getting food advice on South African food would be great! Anyone out there to help a new WLS trainee?
