Holly,

I too am a slave to the hunger. I prayed and prayed that my hunger issues would go away postop, but they did not!!

I have found that switching my PPI from Nexium to Prilosec has helped TREMENDOULSLY!!!! I am not sure if it is this or time after surgery or combination of both. I am only 3 months out, so I think it is more the PPI.

I still get hungy, but not like I did the frist 2 months agfter surgery. I am starting to notice that everyday is alot better and better!! Give it some time and if it doesn't improve, see if you can try other PPI's. Differnt ones work for differnt people!

Good luck!

Wow, this thread is really inspirational! My surgery date was 5/17/11. To date I've lost 36 lbs. That includes the 4.5 lbs lost the week before surgery. My weight loss isn't stellar but I am very happy with every pound gone. I love not feeling like a slave to my appetite/ hunger. I hope that doesn't go away

40.0 lbs! Since May 26.

"Only" 2 days ago I found out that I could wear ALL my size 22 jeans, not just that one "generous cut" one -- including jeans that were a bit tight in Aug 2008, right before my wedding 3 YEARS AGO, and which now are totally comfy and not tight at all!

TOSSING OUT my 26s and 24s foreeeeeveeeeeeeer!!

Yay… yay us!

I'm down 38.4 lbs since surgery on May 17. I am now merely overweight, with less than 30 lbs to go till I'm at a normal BMI.

I'm closing in on losing 10% of my body weight for the second time since surgery. The day before surgery I weighed 222. About one month out I had lost 10% of my total body weight and was at 200. I'm now at 183. 6. Just 3.6 lbs. shy of losing 10% of my body weight for the second time!

I love you sleeve!

Natashad---I'm right there with you. I started my 6 month diet in May as well. Can't wait to be on the losers bench and have a success story to share!

Surgery day was May 3rd.

I have lost a total of 80 lbs.

Today I wore a T-shirt to work that I have never worn before because it never fit and one of the girls saw me walking down the hall and called me slim and said I was inspiring her to do something with herself. While I still have more than half of my excess weight to lose and I am not slim by any sense of the word, I felt really good today. Also, I need all new bras again, the girls are shrinking but honestly that is not a bad thing.

I never measured myself before surgery so the first time I measured myself was June 6th and as of today just about 2 months later I have lost 17.5 inches all around.
