Scared of weight gain

[Justoperated 141]

I am little over 3 months now, so far doing well. SInce a week or two, I have started to feel hungry and I am scared of this feeling. I am afraid I may gain again, though I still eat more or less the same as I did a month ago.

I can now understand what some of fellow sleevers have described to me, the fear of gaining weight, even when they are in perfect shape.

Remember that hunger is often thirst in disguise. Try to get your Fluid intake up, way up. I drink 120+ ounces of fluids a day. That helps control the hunger, but doesn't remove it entirely. So if I eat a snack, I make sure it is always a Protein snack like Jerky, nuts, cheese, yogurt, or meat leftovers. I'm afraid to open the sugar/carb can o' worms, and this system seems to be working so far. Good luck!

I had hunger return about month 3 too, but it's much more manageable than it was before. I'm over a year and 1/2 out, approaching a year in maintenance, wear a size 4, and I'm still terrified I'll gain weight. I still weigh just once per week and am shocked each week I maintain in my goal range. Occasionally I'm up a bit and have to reign it back in, but it's A LOT easier to recover now. I log my intake for a week and that's typically all it takes to return to my zone. Just follow your plan and don't let it freak you out.

I have to admit I also am scared to death of even gaining 2/10ths of a pound. It feels like I don't have control over my situation. I am 5'9 weigh 144 pounds. Probably 8 pounds of that is skin. Lol. I log ever single bite i eat. If I cannot determine how many calories is in something I don't eat it. It is definelty a mind game. I will get it and relax. But the maintenance thing is a challenge. I drink at least 100 ounces of Water a day. If I let myself get too hungry my mind will wander Nad I think oh this or that sounds good and I start to crave foods that I should not eat. I do not eat them I do grab something with Protein usually a few nuts. I like the salt and since my BP is running low my doctors said go ahead and eat more salt. She said to me She couldn't believe she was telling a patient to eat more salt. Anyway I know I got off track here but YES I FEAR OF GAINING WEIGHT. my husband has spent way too much money buying me cute new clothes to gain any weight back.
