Getting more hungry

[kayjay14 43]

I'm 6 months post op from gastric bypass and have noticed that I am more hungry throughout the day. Any suggestions?

The further you get away from your date of surgery, you will begin to experience hunger. It won't be as severe as pre-surgery. It is important to follow the program guidelines while you are in the weight loss phase to maximize your weight loss. I am 3 years post-op RNY and have transitioned from the "weight loss" phase into the "maintenance" phase. This is the approach that I am using in the "maintenance" phase.

Keep journaling every bite you put in your mouth! I am 10 months out from RNY and still log everything I eat. I, too, am more hungry than I thought I would be now and so this definitely helps. I find this is a critical time in my journey, and I don't want to blow it now! I still have weight I want to lose, so I keep barreling through this and have just started really putting more effort into my exercise (walking and slowly a little jogging).

We can do this!
