I eat between 3 to 4 meals a day, but, after about an hour after I eat I'm hungry again. Is it because I'm unable to get all of my Protein or Fluid? I'm 9 weeks out and I have never been able to get in all of either.

Any suggestions is greatly appreciated.

What are you eating? How often? whay can't you get your protien and liquids in ? Are you feeling overfull when you do eat? I have that overfull feeling when I eat then I am staving again a short time later.

I usually have a Protein shake and boiled egg for Breakfast. If I get hungry before lunch, I have more Protein, like boiled egg or Peanut Butter. For lunch I eat about 1/2 of an Atkins meal. For dinner, I eat a meat and veggie. But, I ate at 6 tonite and just had to get 2 cheese sticks and still hungry. I have to stop eating at mealtime because i get full quickly.

I don't think there is a norm, necessarily.

But I'm not sure how you're not getting your Protein in.

Today, I had a Protein shake for Breakfast (Premier Protein, 30g.)

Three chicken strips for lunch, about 4.5 ounces (this was admittedly more than I usually eat, but I was hungry today), and that was over 30 g of Protein.< /p>

dinner was 3/4 cup of chili. About 25 g of protein.

I'm supposed to try for at least 60 grams.

A boiled egg doesn't have very much protein, as these things go. I would try for a denser protein, like chicken breast.

I do find that when I start the day with a meal that has higher carbs, it sets the tone for the rest of the day. I'm 10 weeks out, eat about 1,000 calories a day. I will say that I am not often hungry, but when I am I find something to eat and try to make it very protein dense. Then again, I also try to make sure that my meals are in the 250-300 calorie range and that they won't go right through me.

The reason I don't get all my Protein is I never finish anything. For instance, I can't get down a whole shake, or a whole chick breast or a whole anything. I piece on stuff all day. I'm guessing i'm not getting my Protein in. I need to start counting again., Haven't done that in awhile.

I find that I am hungry a couple hours after eating. I am trying to go with eating smaller amounts more often. I've not mastered this yet, as life gets in the way.

It is really helpful to track for a couple of reasons. You will figure out quickly what the better choices are nutritionally. And also, when I'm feeling hungry I can check my intake to see what I've really eaten and make an educated choice about *how* hungry I am.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
