Lots of hunger lately



Recommended Posts

Great tips... but consider that the pepcid ac might not be effective. Try proselec or nexium... sometimes different people respond to different drugs.

Another idea .. middle of the night foraging is an old bad habit of mine so when the urge hits and I can't sleep I have a Premier Protein drink. 30 grams of Protein and 5 carbs. It is thick and soothing and sweet so it satisfies that urfe.

The Protein Drink is a great idea. My nutritionist told me to not take my Vitamin at night. She has read that some Vitamins may keep you awake. Not sure if this is actually a fact, but my Nurse Practitioner daughter agreed with her. So I make sure I take my last vitamin (1 of 2 ) during the day by 3:00 PM. I do wake about 2:00/3:00 PM but I just roll over and go back to sleep. No hunger at night so I consider myself lucky for that.

Do you have seasonal allergies? I am now ~15 months post surgery. Last fall and again this fall I found myself with unexplained and insatiably hungry. I now recognize what I experienced as untreated allergies and it's post nasal drip that can seem like hunger. Once I treated my allergies (Claritin was all I needed) and the patience for my allergy season to pass and my hunger is back to normal and controllable. Good luck

Try veggies with hummus it has some Protein. I know some folks may say no to this one but I have Peanut Butter in the night if I wake up. It seems to help me a lot.

      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. 🤞
