7 weeks out. I'm scared because I just started wanting food again



Recommended Posts

Up until 6 weeks out. I was never hungry and the crazy thing. Was I never thought about food. Then I had to go out of town for 6 days unexpectedly. And I knew I had to get Protein. Not being home was hard. I relied on Protein Bars and nuts. To get my protein. We spent alot of time visiting family at hospital. And i only had access to a vending machine. Which is why i chose nuts. Now. I just got home. I keep thinking about food. Trying to eat proper protein today. I'm doing ok. But the thinking and wanting food all the time again. Scares me. I am wondering if all the choc protein bars make me crave food again or what. But I had to get protein and I didn't have a fridge at hotel. Which made it even harder. Now that I'm home. I'm not eating the bars anymore. But I'm so scared. The fact I want food all day again. I thought I'd of gained weight on trip. I actually lost 3. I was shocked because I felt fat and puffy after a week of eating like that. Has anyone been through wanting food like this ?

I have to agree with Amy...bars make me hungry. I am surprised that the hotel didn't give you a refrigerator. I travel a lot in the beginning. I got a doctor' note and spoke to managers of the hotels. I was always able to get a frig. or access to a frig because it was a medicate reason.

If you drink mostly high Protein low carb normally, the bars might have knocked you out of ketosis. If you do something like that Atkins induction phase, it will probably put you back in ketosis and knock out the hungries. Be sure to get in all of your protein and Water.< /p>

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
