icon23 273 Posted November 17, 2012 I'm still pre-op, but I have read that this happens for a few days a month around that time for ladies who have already been sleeved. How long since your surgery? Maybe you could allow yourself a small indulgence then go back to your proper diet in the next day or two? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so: Are you eating late at night? Eating late causes most people to be hungry upon waking. Eating no later than 3-4hrs before bed prevents this effect. Are you eating more than 100g carbs per day? Eating more than 100carbs/day for a period longer than 4 days causes head hunger cause carbs are mostly sugar and we are sugar addicts so we CRAVE it. Lower your ratio to under 100 for 3 days and youll break it. Are you taking B12 supplement? B12 Vitamin promotes hunger all by its lonesome. 2 Quianna Armstead and suejersey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hollirrose 249 Posted November 17, 2012 Im almost 7 months out. One week out of the month I dont really like to eat, 2 of the weeks I am ok with food, and then for one week (around tom) I am hungry and have cravings. You know what I do-- nothing diffrent. I still log and track and eat the same foods that I do any other day. Who cares if you have a craving? If you dont give in it is not going to kill you, right? If I want something carby and full of sugar I make a deal with myself... If I still want it in a week ...I will have it. Sometimes I have it but most often I do not. This is just what works for me. Head hunger is aweful sometimes! 4 Sunny123, amykins, Quianna Armstead and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 17, 2012 B12 promotes hunger? I thought it was an energy Vitamin? I need all the energy I can get with three little kids but not if its gonna make me hungry lol. Please do tell! B12 promotes energy when combine with food. Not sure about it promoting hunger when eaten in isolation. As for hunger in the morning, I have found that eating an extended release shake at bedtime helps with both morning hunger and weight loss. I eat a small amount of Protein every 3 hours and usually do not have hunger issues. Meals are about 100-125 calories each. I am about 5 months out and have dropped 121 lbs and have about 40 to go. Drinking a lot of Water and exercising also helps stave off hunger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Derel 287 Posted November 18, 2012 B12 is what Bodybuilders been using since the beginning. Why do you think mostly all cattle feed contains B12. Heres a link http://www.synthetek.com/products/synthelamin-appetite-stimulator/ I didnt start taking B12 till 6 months post op. I did note an increase of eating more often while on B12. I am off right now because of lack of prescription for needles and I just never called for more yet. Eating is way less frequent now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fiddleman 4,376 Posted November 18, 2012 Can you recommend a good extended release shake? Thanks. Sure. Syntrax matrix Cookies and creme is my favorite and the only one I have tried in last 4 months. There are some other flavors. I buy my supply from Amazon about 2 lb container every 2 weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt Derel 287 Posted November 18, 2012 Thanks i was sleeved oct 8.just started myb12 shot today Your kinda early to be hungry. I was still trying to stomach Protein shakes at that point.
