kimb926 31 Posted June 29, 2016 Hi! I was sleeved on 12/08/15. I am down 135 pounds so far. I have been sticking to my 4 oz's 3 times a day but lately I feel like my body is telling me that I need more. I don't know if that is natural or if I am stressing and my instinct to to go towards food. Can anyone assist? Is it natural at some point to feel like you need more than 4 oz 3x a day?

KristenLe 5,979 Posted June 30, 2016 I'm preop but my plan says to eat 5-6 times a day. I think it would depend on what you're eating too. Are you eating dense Protein that satisfies for longer?

kimb926 31 Posted June 30, 2016 Thanks! I have been eating almost 90 grams of Protein everyday. I only eat Protein and vegetables. No starchy veggies, no carbs, no sugar, no fruits. No nothing besides dense Proteins (meat and beans) and veggies (usually kale, spinach, cauliflower.) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bufflehead 6,358 Posted June 30, 2016 I personally think it's a mistake to believe that your body is sending you messages about what to eat and those messages will result in weight loss. Your body, sadly, does not want you slim and healthy. Your body wants you sick and obese just like you used to be. Stick to having daily targets for calories, carbs, and Protein and don't let your obesity-craving body fool you. Listening to our bodies and eating the way they told us to was what got us all needing weight loss surgery in the first place. My body regularly tells me to feed it cupcakes and crackers -- lots of them! I make a practice of ignoring it as best I can. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daniotra 298 Posted June 30, 2016 How many calories are you getting in a day? You could very well need more food at this point. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
