You get hungry. I am also hungry. You just gotta deal and not eat. I want to eat, but I don't because I will gain. I get hungry a lot sooner after I eat. I mean just an hour or two when it used to be four to five hours. Go for a walk. Play an online game. Watch a movie. Work Out. But whatever you do, don't eat.

And the week before your period is the worst.

I am finding I am hungry more often too. If so, I have vegies and fruit ready for me, most of the time a few bites does the trick.

I've said this somewhere else on this forum, but my doctor asked me what happens when you are hungry? He replied .....Nothing.

As overweight people, we are far too willing to fill any bit of emptiness inside with as much as we can. Feeling empty is not something most overweight people are accustomed to, so it doesn't feel normal.

We are having to rewire ourselves from the inside out. Moving out of your comfort zone is not easy. It is challenging. We are having to employ strategies that are different such as drinking a lot more clean Fluid, eating more Protein, eating fewer carbohydrates and cutting out the sugar, starch, bread and other refined foods that we love so much.

Nope. Not what I would call fun. But most days are good and when I'm really hungry I fill up on low fat cottage cheese, hot tea, low fat yogurt, or I just get busy.

You should not eat. No fruit, no veggies. If you are hungry and it is in between eating times then stay hungry. Drink Water, but don't eat. it is a bad habit. It could potentially get worse. And fruit is nothing but sugar. You shouldn't eat it at all. Sorry I am being a bit bossy today :) But I am tired of people struggling and a lot of the people who are one, two, three years out disappear from the board. So I am 1.5 years out, and I am going to keep it real. I am hungry. I mean I just ate a whole chicken breast, and I can feel it digesting and can feel some hunger pangs coming. It is not easy.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
