Great info and saved for later - thank you!I am 3 years post-op RNY gastric bypass surgery. I was in the Weight Loss phase for around 7 months and then I transitioned into the Maintenance phase. Prior to surgery, hunger was constantly continuously gnawing at my bones. But after surgery, I completely lost my hunger. About a year later after surgery, my hunger returned. But it was not as strong as prior to surgery.
The strategy during the Weight Loss phase is different than the strategy during the Maintenance stage. I am not suggesting you are in the Maintenance phase yet. It is a tad bit early. But someday you will transition into this phase and I put the strategy I use in the Maintenance phase in the following article. So this is for future reference. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery2.pdf
I believe some individuals are experiencing hunger during the Weight Loss phase because they are consuming too many carbohydrates. Meals should always begin with Protein first.

Thanks for helping!I had trouble too but I found it. Here's how I found it on the mobile version of FB....
I went on my main FB feed page.
At the very top there is a search option.
Type in:BP August 2016
At the top of this search are the options Top, Latest, People... Etc.
If you keep scrolling over you will see "Groups"
Click on Groups and it pops right up.

Hi all, Im Megan, 31 in Vermont and I'm having VSG on August 1st! So excited
Since staying intouch here seems a bit difficult, and based on talking with others in another thread, I've just created a closed Facebook support group called "BP August 2016" if anyone wants to join (you just have to do a search for it). All posts will be private which I know is important.
Hopefully you join and we can all support each other and cheer one another on in an easier format for connecting!

Ok all, I've created a closed group on Facebook called "BP August 2016" so please do a search for it and you can join! A closed group means that anyone can search for it and see who's in it, but all posts are private. I've kept the group name vague and I won't write a description for those who are not comfortable openly sharing their journey with everyone on their Facebook (like me!). After we have enough members we can discuss maybe making the group entirely private, but that would mean we couldn't be found in a search and others would need to request to join in here, rather than on facebook.
So, yay! Come join! Let's keep in touch and cheer each other on!

Have you tried using the My fitness pal app? It's what got me through that!Iam in the same boat. I need some one to support me. I have no one. Insurance wants me to lose 15 pounds before surgery. Why is this so hard?? Iam getting more and more depressed. My insurance company is getting frustrated with me. Help
