Always Hungry im scared.

[hopeful2loose2014 21]

Hi all. I am 4 weeks out today. I'm hungry all the time and I'm starting to get very upset. I take 2 pepcid a day I am on soft foods. I am getting the Protein in and eating very low carb but for some reason an hour or so at we eating I'm hungry again. Do you think this will change when i go to regular foods next week? I am getting panicked. When I eat a few tablespoons and I'm stuffed but then I'm hungry. My calories are less than 900 a day, protein at least 60-70 and any carbs is coming from ricotta, shakes, cottage cheese or soft cheeses or banana. I'm confused what I'm doing wrong?

I am hungry every hour or two as well. Some people are lucky and the hunger is gone. Some (like us) are not. I am 2 months out and I have to have a snack every two hours. I track everything and try to eat less than 950 calories a day. Snacks are usually Protein dense things like Jerky.

Almost 50 pounds lost from highest weight. Although I eat often it is coming off!!!

I have gone through phases where I really was able to eat again, like was really hungry and could eat way more than before.. I had to scale back a bit, I stopped losing as fast, but I still saw loss and I think once you get off Protein Shakes it helps since your body can prpcess 'real food' you will get more full faster and just remember things change so fast-every month is a little different. I am 6mos post op, lost of 68.5 lbs and counting. Very happy with results. Just hang in there. Sounds like you are tracking so that is good. Sometimes I listen to my body or try and hydrate more. When that hunger pain kicks in, try drinking instead of eating. Drink some Water, an iced tea or a soy milk or something that tricks your stomach to thinking that you ate. The hunger goes away and your body is more hydrated, it will adapt to it, just be patient and have a beverage to hold the hunger back. Good luck!
