I am so hungry. What do I do? Go on liquids to lose weight because I want to eat everything.

If you're hungry going on liquids would be totally counter productive because you'll just get hungrier.

Increase your protein' date=' it finds the hunger.[/quote']

Ok I will try that. Thank you

Find a nice thick Protein shake that you like.

I use the chocolate body fortress whey powder from Walmart. 8oz of unsweetened almond breeze milk, 1 scoop of the whey powder with a little bit of ice and blend into a nice thick smoothy. It will give you 27grams of Protein. Healthy and filling.

I always feel hungry! I'm just glad that I no longer feel like I'm starving! However, I have never been able to tolerate fills. I'm working with my surgeon with that right now. I agree with everyone else, protien is the key. Stay away from the foods that don't keep you satisfied for very long! I love my sugar free Popsicles and sugar free pudding between meals when I get hungry. It makes me feel like I'm cheating without really cheating!

Eat! :) Just as the others have said. Possibly consider whether you are at correct restriction, or need to see your surgeon for an adjustment.

It's now 4pm where I am, I had some coffee this morning about 9am, went on a nice bike ride in the cold!! :( , and just now have the urge to have my first meal of the day. For me, the band does this, now that I have gotten to that restriction level.

I NEVER HAVE HEARTBURN/REFLUX, EVER. I don't get stuck, as long as I eat correctly. I just don't feel hungry all the time, like I did even two months ago.

It took me a loooooooong time to get to this point, but I'm in the green zone, no doubt. And loving it! Best of luck to you, and NEVER, EVER give up on you! YOU can do this. :)

Bandster Hell is ......well hell! Really focus on getting Protein in. This helps me alot! I know it seems intolerable....but give it some time. Try and thwart your attention to something else. Sometimes if I am obsessing about food...things feel bleak. Try and keep busy. But eat your protein!

I just noticed you are 6wks post op. I would try eating more solid Protein, instead of Protein Shakes. Solid protein will stay with you longer.

chicken, tuna, eggs,lean meats etc...

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
