Eating too much.



Recommended Posts

I am down 170 pounds and can't stop eating. I feel like I want to sabotage myself. I have much more to lose and find myself eating too many carbs. They go down easier. I am stressed and going to good for comfort once again. I started going to the gym to off set some of the calories but I am headed in the wrong direction. I eat anywhere from 1000 to 1500 calories and I should be at 800. I feel like I'm hungry all the time. I've got to get back on track. 10/10 is my 1 year anniversary. I need to lose at least 50 pounds. Uggggggh

I so understand where you are ---- I am 7 months post op and I am in the same place. I need to lose 60 more pounds, but feel like I am hungry all the time. I so don't want to go backwards. Just wanted to let you know you were not alone.

Are you taking an anti-acid/ acid reducer? A lot of times, you get much hungrier and it's really excess acid. I know for me it took me a whole to figure that out

Gina! You have really done a fantastic job, and you are getting so close to goal! Gotta stay away from those excess carbs, because they make you more hungry. The old carb monster! I have to say though, I am not a doc or nut, but 800 at a year out seems like too little. I would guess closer to 1200 and maybe just a little more if you are exercising a lot.... Did your nut actually tell you to eat only 800 a day until you get to goal? I eat between 1200-1400 5 days a week, and 550 two days a week (5:2 semi fast days) and this is how I got to goal into my third year.... No wonder you are hungry. Best of luck! You can do it, just try and stay with low glycemic index carbs, that will help with the hunger.

      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.
