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.

I kno the more carbs you eat it's possible to cause you to be more hungry .. Just eat every two to three hrs some Protein

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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
