Worried

[BAMAlildeb 0]

I was sleeved on March 14th...have lost 43 pounds since surgery...BMI went down from 35 to 31...looking great...feeling great. I am just worried because I have been hungry. When I eat, it doesn't take much to fill me up but I get hungry quick. I know that I am not eating my Protein like I should and have been snacking around (that's what got me here in the 1st place). I went on vacation for a week...ate like crazy...then I was off last week...ate like crazy. Luckily, I didn't gain any but I haven't lost any either in the past 3 weeks. I know what I am supposed to do but gotta get my mind set on it. I just really had to vent and get it out of my system. Any suggestions on how to get back on track mentally. What do you eat that is filling to you w/o getting hungry quick.

Not a post opper, but the answer is going to be dense Protein. It stays in the sleeve longer and delays the hungry feelings.

You might be having issues with reflux too. Or maybe thirst.

Yep, your answer is Protein. Also, make sure you aren't drinking 30 minutes before or after you eat.

Even pre-op, sometimes feeling hungry actually means you are thirsty / dehydrated. Be sure you are drinking your Water, as well as eating Protein first.
