For several weeks I was worried that I wasn't taking enough calories cause I could barely eat 3 very tiny meals. Here lately though my hunger is back with. vengeance. I used to take in around 600 calories a day and feel very full. However today I took in over 1600 calories and only stopped eating cause I had taken in so many calories. My surgeon does his first fill 6 weeks post op. any suggestions on how to controls hunger for the next 2 weeks before I lose the 25 pounds I have lost so far???????

I would avoid taking pills (the RX ones are dangerous and the OTC ones aren't regulated by FDA - so you have no clue what's in the. I did the whole Phen-Fen craze in the 90's - would bake a cake and clean my house at 3 am after sleeping maybe an hour in a 2 day period. Phen-Fen was banned in the US after causing many heart problems in users.

Maybe you need a fill? If you were satisfied on a little and now it takes more to fill you, I would ask if I could get a fill. You haven't filled out your profile, so I have no clue when your sugery was done, how much you weight, how much you've lost, etc...

Yea my surgeon didnt do a fill for 6 weeks as well. I ate lots and lots of sugar free Jello that last week. Once you get that first fill you will notice the difference.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
