I am so sorry for you. Changed your life for 40 pounds. Why don't you ask your Dr for an appetite suppressant. If your surgeon won't do it, look up a bariatric physician. You can go to ASBP and get names

Just wondering if you have tried to go back to first phase of surgery eating. Try doing Protein Shakes 2times a day and then a sensible dinner. Always remember Protein first then veggies and carbs. Eat like every 3 hours to stop the hunger. I know if you eat Fiber to, it keeps you full longer. Good luck keep us up to date. Oh yeah drink lots of Water to help flush out the fat and to keep you hydrated. One more thing lol, are you mistaken hunger for thirst? Try drinking fluids and then if you still feel hungry eat some protein. Hope I helped in someway if possible.

You need to get back on track....the sleeve won't do all the work. I'm willing to bet you are not exercising, and you aren't eating what you should be. You did this to change your life....and you aren't using the tool. There are so many people out there that can't get this surgery and would do anything to get it....work your tool girl. Hopefully when you get on these pills you will use then and there to start all over...pick yourself up and get moving! ((Hugs))

Man that's tough.... I'd be upset too for a 40ib loss... But def go back to the first stages after surgery... U might have stretched your sleeve so u can eat more than you should ..

So sorry you have had this experience. You will not be happier until you find a solution. I would try a new surgeon and see if his Team could help you have better success because the current set up has not worked. I think step number one is finding what you are doing wrong and working on those issues one by one.

That sounds terrible but keep it in perspective - it could be a LOT worse than 15 pounds. What matters is you are catching it, and your are not going to gain any more. Even if you need to just focus on maintaining the 230 pounds before you dive into a calorie deficit again you are on the right track. Sometimes you just need a break, just make sure you STOP gaining.

For some, DS may be a better option. Has your surgeon talked to you about that at all?

Maybe more Protein Shakes isn't the answer? If you are not having any trouble eating you probably don't need those anymore. Sometimes drinking our calories is bad news, no matter what it is. More lean Protein might be the key.

I just want 2 get rid of the hunger :-(

yeah, are you having real physical hunger or is it a head thing that you want to eat? Because if you are physically hungry the more dense things you have the better off you will be.

      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.
