Please tell me I won't be hungry anymore!



Recommended Posts

I'm almost three months out and I feel very little physical hunger so far. I do get the head hunger to 'graze' at times, but if I "think" about my hunger, I really don't have much in the physical sense, unless I go 5-6 hours without eating anything I start to feel a little low on energy. I'm eating 4-5 meals of no more than 4oz of almost pure Protein. I take in at least 64 oz of liquids and I checked my caloric intake a few days back and I'm just under 1,000 calories. On days I exercise, I burn between 500-700 calories.

I recently went on a vacation and eating felt more like a nuisance, which I thought was rather funny. I actually bought Snacks like cottage cheese and Protein Bars. I lost weight on vacation! Who knew that could happen?

Hi

9 months out, I feel hunger occasionally but it is a polite sensation which,

if it is not convenient, I can ignore. An hour later, I will get a slightly stronger sensation.

Even though I used to eat low GI foods to avoid energy swings, I used to be ravenous , headachy, and tense about 2-3 hours after eating and was desperate to get to food - anything.

From talking to (thin) friends, I understand that the polite "empty" which I now feel is more

like the "normal" sensations that they have always experienced.

      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.
