I am about 3 months out and I have lost about 30 pounds from 230 to 200. I lost about 24 in the first 6 weeks and about 6 in the second 6 weeks. I usually do an unjury Protein shake (1 cup fat free milk w/powder) or 2 eggs for Breakfast. I am trying to go to one egg and one egg white instead of two eggs. I can eat about the equivalent of 1 cup of food for my other two meals. I eat on average 80% to 95% meat per meal. Sometimes, I have another Protein Shake in the afternoon or a yogurt, popsicle or ice-cream after dinner. Sometimes I have wine as well...mea culpa.... Almost without exception, I am hungry again in about an hour after I eat. No matter how much I drink, I still stay hungry. I think drinking can actually make me more hungry. I am going to talk to my doctor about acid in my stomach at my 3 month appointment to see if it is responsible for my hunger. Good luck!!!!!

Thanks Tiffykins! I went on prevacid for two weeks about a month out because of heartburn. I stopped when the course was over because my pain was gone. I don't remember if it affected how hungry I was. Would you have to take something like that forever? I think I may try out your idea for now and see how it goes.

I was sleeved on February 22, 2010. My pre op weight was 230 pounds with a BMI of 38. I lost 23 pounds by my 6 week check up. I am now 9 weeks out and have only lost a few more pounds. I am wondering if I can eat more than most other sleevers. I can eat about one cup full of lean ground turkey meat and a laughing cow wedge to boot or two scrambled eggs with a some cheese. I feel full after I eat but I get hungry an hour or two later almost without exception. For dinner, I had about 2/3 of a lean (95/5) turkey burger patty and 1/2 cup of pinto beans. I was hungry an hour later and had pickle spear and a then a sugar free fudgecicle little while ago. Now I am hungry again. I have almost no problems with any food and have no trouble getting anything down. Does anyone eat the same quantities as me or get as hungry as I do?
