I was sleeved on November 6, 2015 and I have lost 73 lbs. I have lost the last 3 lbs over and over for the last month or so. I stay so hungry all the time now. IS anyone else having these problems? I crave sweets all the time.

Help!!!! I do not want to gain back what I have lost but I never thought I would be dealing with these issues so soon.

Thanks.

what kinds of things are you eating?

I am finding that the more Protein I eat, along with having enough fat in my diet I stay pretty satiated. I am not anything like that far along, but I have read quite a few accounts that if you're letting in some bad carbs they tend to make you want to eat more.

I was sleeved in November 2015, too, and I definitely feel more hungry than I was a few months ago. @@Christinamo7 's advice fits my experience. As long as I focus on Protein to satisfy my hunger (at least 100 grams a day) and keep up with drinking Water, it is a lot easier to stick with my dietary guidelines. I have managed to keep my carb levels low (never above 50 grams a day), so I have avoided the cravings for sweets. That is my biggest fear more than anything else.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
