Hungry more?



Recommended Posts

Those that are working out at least 5x a week- do you find yourself hungrier more often? Not sure if normal or means I need a fill.

I only work out about 1 time a week, but I do light walking in my work building up and down the stairs.

I work out 5 times a week....it's 5am now and I am heading for th gym.....

In the beginning I used to get hungrier after a workout...Iearned to overcome it....it was defeating what I had just accomplished...burning calories and fat....don't want to replace what I just managed to loose....

I learned to have some Protein before my workout for energy, and to have a "recovery" high protein after my workout....I also drink about 32 ozs of Water before all is said and done.

For me it is the doubled edged sword of exercise, I am not a model of moderation so when I exercise so I usually burn 8-1K calories per sessions and as my body tries to keep up, my hunger sky rockets as well. I usually try and throw in an extra Protein shake, and make sure my meals are even higher in Protein and that seems to take the edge off it. I have to really be careful for the carbs though.

I find when I workout first thing in the morning before I consume anything but Water I am not that hungry most of the day. BUT if I wait and exercise in the afternoons I am ravenous after the fatigue wears off. I try to keep my Snacks high in Protein and stay in my calories.

I work out about 6 days a week and burn at least 3,500 cal per week. I find myself starving on some days even though I am over 120 grams of Protein. I have had no fills and am about 9 weeks post op. I think that it might be time for a fill but I will be asking my DOC and NUT when I go in a week.

I feel your food pain.

I sometimes feel ravenous after a workout, but I try not to eat....

Drinking a TON will help, but i know, it really is hard!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
