Starting To Feel Hungry



Recommended Posts

Hey guys. I'm glad I found this site. I've been plicated for 5 weeks now. I've lost a total of 18 pounds... I'm pleased with that. I work out 5 days a weeks. My calorie consumption has been pretty low, under 1200 a day. I can only eat about 4 0r 5 ounces but recently I've been noticing that I'm starting to get hungry about an hour after I've eaten. Has anyone else experienced that? How are you controlling your hunger?

well I just joined this sight just now and I am having the same problem so i'm so glad you ask, it's kind of scaring me. I feel hungry all the time. I am 9 weeks out and it's just gotten worse the last couple of days.

Plication is not an appropiate Surgical procedure.

It has all the disadvantages ( not removing ghreline, not allowing total stomach evaluation, high rate of failue, still grave complications) and no advantage ( it is NO REVERSIBLE) ove sleeve

For all of this reasons it is not accepted for any Surgical Society.

Hi PES and Caroline,

I have no idea what Errado is going on about... err... but plication IS reversible, not that either of you needed that to be addressed :) I have noticed the hunger factor too. What I do for that, is increase my liquid intake of low to zero calorie liquids. How is your Water intake going? You both should be taking in at least 64 ozs. of Water a day, if you are not, then it is very possible that the "hunger" you are feeling is thirst. Remember that thirst pangs feel the same as hunger pangs, they are not indistinguishable. I intake acai Vitamin water when I feel hungry, it is 0 calories, and it is satisfying. You may also want to identify whether or not the food you are eating is substantial enough. Is it sugary? Enough Protein? Also definitely keep a food diary. Could it be certain things you are eating are triggering hunger? I remember one day eating a vegan burger and I had to FIGHT myself not to wolf it down! So much so that I decided now is not the time for me to be eating that food. It wasn't a big deal. Breathing excercises work too. Sometimes if I feel hungry and I know food or drink is right around the corner I go outside and really deeply in and exhale fresh air.

Good Luck and Stay in Touch

      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. 🤞
