sksh 31 Posted April 10, 2015 I stay hungry all of the time but I don't eat much either. It is still very hard for me to get 800 calories in a day. I keep premium Protein Drinks in my fridge. They really fill me up and it keeps me from eating things I shouldn't. The sleeve is just a tool to help you control your eating. Try to stick to the high Protein diet and don't give in to your hunger. If you eat protein and drink the shakes you will do better. I agree with everyone else, stay away from carbs as much as you can. Don't give up, you don't want all that you went through to be for nothing. Good luck to you. protein drinks!I really think I should start drinking them much more!I do know its just a tool :(I do try my best not to eat when i get hungry and I start cutting carbs and eat more protein yesterday and I did passed the day with good calories number!Thsnk you a lot ♡and good luck to you too ♡♡ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogofulm 2,440 Posted April 10, 2015 Read and re-read the post from @@JamieLogical over and over. She's got it right on. My doc told me that after bariatric surgery hunger is usually thirst in disguise. Take a daily PPI pill like Protonix, Nexium or Prilosec, and make sure you get 64+ ounces of Fluid in you every - single - day! Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rogofulm 2,440 Posted April 10, 2015 cuz i eat lots of bread and i think it make me hungry even more!!! and I will talk to my dr about ppi No more bread! Starches and sweets will just make you hungrier. Carbs crave carbs, and sweets crave sweets. (Yes, I know they're the same thing, but I'm making a point. ) And PPIs usually contains the drug Omeprazole. they're not cheap, but they can be found in any drug or grocery store in the US.

RaginCajun 177 Posted April 22, 2015 The consensus of most posts are that eating Protein first, then some green veggies, and staying away from starches, is the hiway to success. After all, the essence of extreme weight loss for VSG is to create a small stomach and then go on an uber Atkins diet - high Protein and low carbs. But, its also ez to negate the situation if you: A) Eat continuously; Eat the wrong things. So, getting sleeve is a little like using the baby-bumpers at the bowling alley. Its a guard rail intended to facilitate extreme weight loss for the first 12-18 months. You can't eat much, so eating the right things is what makes the weight drop. You are at the right place to get support from all of us who are on this same journey. I am only one week post-op and couldn't be more energized and optimistic. Get your mind right, and you will be successful. RC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like you've made a big improvement in your eating and it is helping you get back on track. Putting Protein first really does help keep you full and energized. And like you said, if you go out or have something not-so-great for you one day, there's no reason you can't get right back on track the next day or even just the next meal!
