Why Am I So Hungry?

[magee2318 6]

I am 5 weeks out, and really hungry! My dr said I can basically eat anything...I'm trying to get in about 70 grams of Protein a day...am I hungry because I need more? I eat, get full and hungry about an hour later. It's driving me crazy. I am only 30 lbs down (I shouldn't say ONLY, but compared to others it's making me crazy!) I have been doing everything I can! Getting discouraged

Yes I asked my dr about acid reflux and he said that is not it. I am on my gallbladder meds and meds for reflux.

I the morning I have cottage cheese and Greek yogart (about 1/2 cup which is apparently too much). A Protein shake or cheese Usually egg salad or tuna or lunch. Either another shake or a veggie for snack. And for dinner I eat a meat and veggie. And I have liquid New whey Protein for my main source of protein

It could be because you are still in the soft stage. Once you move into denser Protein you will find you are fuller quicker and for longer.

I was told at meals to eat Protein first, then veggies and grains and not to drink with meals as that liquifies your food and will pass thru faster causing you to be hungry faster. Good luck and keep up the good work.
