Always Feel Hungry!?

[kysia81 11]

Today I've always feel hungry! I eat drink Water and still hungry. I have had good food like fruit, water orange juice. meat, and cheese. But nothing seems to fill me up today. I take a break and try not to eat too much but I hate this feeling! Any ideas on how to fix it?

Cucumbers and carrots have very little calories and the fibrousness of them makes you feel full quickly. Could help you out some.

One other thing to realize is that will all the struggles we've gone through trying to lose weight, sometimes losing weight is uncomfortable. We've all felt that many times. We may still have to deal with that from time to time even with surgery. I know for me, if I go to bed too late I get REALLY hungry. I just have to bear it out and/or go to bed and just deal with it.

If your surgery is still fairly new, then the hunger hormones may not be out of your system just yet. It was two months before I really lost my appetite. So- HANG IN THERE!! you can do this, and just try to keep yourself busy when you're too hungry. Suck on some sugar free hard candies. That helps a lot too. OH--and pickles have almost NO calories!! eat some pickles! (Just don't overdo it, there is a lot of sodium;) )

How far out are you? I've noticed that if I feel a little hungry but I know I've eaten, then i take a gas x or tums and that seems to be the problem. I'm not really hungry just gassy or a little acid reflux. I'm only a week out though, so this may not be your problem.

Eeeehhhh, not so much. That's the nice thing about this surgery. You'd have to be crazy out of control, practically endangering your life to really "stretch" your sleeve. The capacity increases very slightly over like.....a couple of years or something. But no, I don't think you stretched your sleeve.

My first two months were VERY hungry. It should get better soon once the Grehlin is more out of your system.
