Im Hungryyy And Yes I Snack



Recommended Posts

Hey guys any advices for me? I'm a month out 17lbs down but I have been soooo hungry that it's scary. Especially when I see Snacks like bread I nibble. Does the hunger ever go away? I hear of people forcing themselves to eat and here I am hungry most of the times

Are you on an acid reducer? It truly does help with the urge to snack.< /p>

If you're only a month out, you are still on purees/mushies - right? If that's the case, you're not likely getting a full feeling from your food that you're eating - once you start eating dense Protein you likely won't get the hunger as much. Also, like Lissa said reflux can mimic hunger feelings.

I'm actually eating full solids so far. Nothing crazy but I can eat a lean cuisine feel full and 2 hour after I'll be hungry again. That's what stressing me out

Get your Protein in first. Chew well, and no drinking fluids 30 minutes before/after

I was told by my nut that I can have 3 meals and 2 Snacks. I do eat my snacks, I need them. I am 7 weeks post op, and I feel like I'm adjusting to eating smaller meals, as that also helps with metabolism.

      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.
