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.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
