Occasional Endless Pit



Recommended Posts

Hi guys!

Almost 4 months out and 79 pounds down. Very, very happy. But I have a question. Every once in a while, my stomach suddenly has a day where it feels like there is no restriction. I'm constantly hungry, can eat nearly twice as much as normal and am still hungry. I know some of this is emotional eating, but is there any reason to explain why I can suddenly do it physically? Other days if I overheat I feel instantly uncomfortable and sick, but then there are these random "free days" that freak me out!!

Are you eating foods that tend to be sliders on those over eating days? Carbs like Pasta, potatoes and the like don't keep you full very long. Make sure you start your meal with a Protein. chicken, turkey, Beans or soy if you are a vegetarian.

Are you getting all your Water in? I've said this before on here, the thirst mechanism is very weak in lots of people and we mistake it for hunger so we eat. So if you feel hungry, drink something first, then reassess in 30 minutes whether you are hungry.

+1 on the Water suggestion! I think dehydration is a bigger issue after WLS than most people realize.
