Burning Starving Sensation

[skinnyhereicome 41]

Hello all,

I was wanting to know if anyone else has had the same reaction I am having when I am hungry? It is almost a burning in the pit of my stomach like if I don't eat immediately I am going to kill someone. LOL. I feel like a pregnant woman sometimes. I have had my band for almost 3 years now and have done very well. I have lost 102 lbs. to date and I feel great. I know that at times the band can feel a little to tight but I have learned to work with it.

Try taking a drink of something like Water & see if that helps , yes I do get it every once in a while but if I take a drink it goes away or sometimes I eat like 2 almonds & that helps and I have been branded for 3 years.

I feel that once in awhile. It is puzzling to me as well. Why sometimes do I just feel a normal grumbly hunger, and why other times the burning, strong hunger? I don't know, but Debbie gave great advice. First, hydrate. Then if you have some p rotein available, eat it. Better yet, have a meal if you can. If you can't, the small p rotein snack should tide you over until you can sit down to your meal. I keep pecans or almonds or p rotein bars or shakes in my desk at work. Are you going too long between meals? When I go longer than 3-1/2 or 4 hours, I get too hungry.

I have that but thought it was just a side effect of my pregnancy many years ago. I feel really nauseous if I don't eat in addition to the burning feeling. Now I try to keep a small snack with me.
