There are a lot of hungry stomachs post op, including my own. A little tip I picked up is to wait 20 minutes, independent of your last eating time and recheck if you are still hungry. In the meanwhile, keep drinking Water. As they say, thirst is often mistaken for hunger. I usually find a driving desire to eat something good ( fill in the blank) dissipates after 20 minutes or at least will be less of a nag. Hope this helps.

This is great advice. I find that what I think is hunger is sometimes just me thinking I SHOULD be hungry.

I eat by the clock period. Nothing in between nothing more or less.

I eat at 9, 1. 4 and dinner about 6 or 7 and if I am up late enough I will eat a Jello at 10

Sounds good Sarah! Eating lean Protein also goes a long way to keeping hunger at bay and to avoid grazing.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
