How long ago did you have surgery? Sometimes your mind thinks your hungrey and your not. It gets better.

Are you following your doctor's eating schedule and eating the appropriate foods? You may be just head hungry. This habit of constantly eating is a difficult one to break. I follow my doctor's orders to the "t". I eat 3 meals a day and have Snacks when I need a little something. When I get home from work I am pretty hungry at times but as soon as I have a couple of table spoon full of food I am stuffed and don't eat anything for the rest of the evening, or maybe a surgar free, fat free ice pop. Have you discussed your problem with your doctor?

Sorry to hear that Pazzo. I wish I could take some of your hunger for you, as I have the oposite effect, I am never hungry and dont eat but a bite or two a day. Your doctors office cant help by setting up a payment option so that you can at least get an appointment to be seen?

I went through the same thing at about six months. I needed to start drinking a lot more. My Dr also told me to eat things of substance cuz the foods I was eating like yogurt and granola wasn't staying with me. So I changed m Breakfast to eggs and snacked on almonds when I felt hungry and it really helped. Good luck to you:)

Are you getting enough Protein and eating the Protein first?

My Nut pounds that into my head all the time. The protein releases some sort of hormone that tells our head that we're full.

Hope this helps.

Hi.. I had the same problem... And i just realized its in my head. You have to get past that and once you do, you'll learn that sometimes thirsty feels like hungry. Drink some Water and it'll go away! I used to think about food 24/7... And now when i have to eat, i make sure its something hethy o just keep me alive....

      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.

      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.
