I noticed at about your point metabolism finally kicked back in and had some hunger. Now I realize I am hungry when I don't get all my Protein in and when I am short on Water. Now a feel hungry a couple of times a week and am OK with it because it usually is followed by a good weight loss.

I feel hungry sometimes, but knowing I can satisfy that feeling with just a small amount makes me feel less anxious about it. Making a good choice is sometimes the hard part. I recently spent a day eating more than usual because I was so hungry, and it actually kicked my weight loss in a bit in the next couple of days. Don't worry if you feel hungry, just try to handle it in the right way.

So how are you doing now? Thank you so much for sharing!

Hey I'm doing great!! My partner and I went out to dinner - he totally took the croutons off his salad and only ate half of one roll, I am so proud of him!!!

I shared my baby-back ribs with our daughter... I ordered a half-rack; I ate the meat from two ribs (minus a few bites that she took), chewing carefully and thoroughly and was TOTALLY perfectly satisfied!! It felt really great. The waitress even commented, "aw I guess you're just not that hungry huh?" And I was like, yep, I did fill up quick.." Haha

Before surgery I'd have ordered a full rack, sucked down every one of those ribs, eaten all the sides, two pieces of bread with butter, a salad, washed it down with iced tea, then put away a full-size dessert!

:) this is good stuff.

      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.
