Hungry Or Empty Stomach Or In My Head?



Recommended Posts

I eat through out the day...wake up to a Protein shake...breakfast a boiled egg and a small piece of meat...lunch tuna or crab salad..dinner chunks of chicken after dinner a few chunks of chicken.....its 11:00 and i had a few more chunks of chicken (3 small cubes) but i dont know if i am hungry or if its because i am used to eating at night or its just a feeling of an empty stomach and it feels weird....I dont want to fail! I am not exercising yet because i feel i am just still too heavy my knees and foot hurt (maybe thats just an excuse) I was sleeved the 19th of October...so I am about 6 weeks out. Does or has anyone gone through this and if so what do you do...i am gonna talk to my doc ...i just dont wanna fail....

Are you on an acid-reducer? Are you getting your liquids in? These both can give you the feeling of being hungry. Also, head hunger can make you do crazy things, too! I am 6 weeks out as well and I have had my fair share of fighting the urge to eat more. If I start feeling hungry, I will try sipping on some Water. That is usually enough to make that hungry feeling subside or go away completely.

It sounds like you are eating about as much as me. Are you getting all of your Protein in for the day? Depriving yourself of Protein can also make you feel hungry.

Good luck on figuring this all out and on your weight loss journey!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
