Why am I hungry all the time?



Recommended Posts

I am 7 months post-op and have lost 104 pounds. I am very happy with my progress, but I have gotten to a point where I stay hungry all the time. I have started eating the "BAD" things again even though I know they are going to make me sick. Any suggestions to get pass this before I gain weight that I worked so hard to get off back?

I am not that far along but do you think it's more of a thirst then a hunger, I thought I was hungry all the time until I started drinking when I gut the hunger urge it has helped. Keep your drink with you maybe it will help curve the hunger munchies attacks. Good luck you have done an awesome job already you will get through this too.

How dedicated you have been to lose all those pounds! You can get lots of speculations on this forum that are all wonderful advice. If you think you are sabotaging yourself, go back to the psychologist and deal with an expert.

If you're moving into maintenance, then maybe its time to get offthe low carbs and eat more fruit and veg? A balanced diey may help.

Stop comparing yourself. You are not like others. Listen to your NUT and your body. Eat a well balanced meal.

      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.
