I am 4.5 months out and recently started taking a Bcomplex Vitamin. I was taking just B12 1000mg but stopped that and switched to the complex B. Well after 3 days on it I was eating everything in sight. I had such hunger and I grazed all day long and could not believe how much my stomach held. I was astounded at the volume and so upset at the change. I had good restriction bf. I of course had a stall in weight loss, same 3 lbs back and forth and felt my stomach was back to bf surgery! I stopped the Bcomplex and feel a hugh difference in restriction but I do need the B's right? I was so upset. I'm also taking Vit C 500, bariatric multi vit with Iron, Vit D3 and calcium citrate, no change there. Anyone have this happen?

I haven't noticed this when taking a Bcomplex however I did feel that way while on a generic of an antidepressant called Remeron. It felt like I could eat the same amount in volume as I used to, but in reality I was unable to put away the same amount so I found myself grazing. Weight loss was nearly at a stall but came down a few lbs.

I am actually experiencing this now but with B12. I am one month out and have found once I started taking B12 that my hunger increased and I could actually consume more food. Did you ever get a response or any feedback on this? I have told my doc about it, and she said to stop taking B12 for 1 month and see if I notice any 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.
