10 week post op hunger

[heather09 1]

I am 10 weeks post op and have been feeling hungry often, very hungry. This is new to me because I was never really hungry. I have not been measuring out my food, I just eat until I'm full. I'm afraid I have been eating too much and have stretched out my stomach. Help!!!

I do think that you should measure your food.

It's never too late to get back on track. I got myself some three ounce bowls to eat out of and it has helped a lot with my portions. And definately eat slowly. A lot of times I eat while doing something else like chrocheting....do a few stitches, take a bite. It has helped me eat slower and I get satisfied quicker without feeling too full

I am 13 weeks post op and i find myself hungry all the time too.

but I eat when i am hungry.

I feel hungry I have an apple

2 hours later if i am hungry again I eat a granola bar

Don't starve yourself. that will drop the pounds quickly but will also allow for a regain just as quickly even if it is 1-3 pounds in a week.

If you're hungry EAT.

I also have a freezer full of Popsicles for when I feel hungry.

Thank you for the encouragement. 3 oz. bowls sounds like a great idea to keep me accountable for measuring my food. Thank you

Most of the time I just sip on my sugar free ice tea or lemonade, this will subside the hunger usually if not my goto on occasion will be a popsicle
