Why am I always hungry?



Recommended Posts

Sorry I meant to reply under there. You should take your PPI for up to a year following surgery

Ooh! Okay..I took them this morning and Im seeing a bit of a difference.

If you are craving sweets, try 4 oz of cottage cheese with 1 tablespoon of sugar free strawberry preserves stirred into it. It has 120 calories, 13 grams of Protein, and 6 carbs -- and it tastes great, too! I only have 20 carbs (or less) per day, and they all come from green vegetables and the cottage cheese mixture.

When you are hungry, just have some Protein. I eat 8 times a day, about 90 minutes apart, so I am eating all day basically. In between, I have to get the fluids in. (I take a longer break between the first and second times I eat in the morning to spend about an hour each time drinking Water.) If you do all of that, there isn't time to be hungry!

Good luck.

Just wanted to give you props. Was craving sweets today. Ate cottage cheese and strawberry preseves... it did the job and it was delicious!

I agree about the PPI. When I forget mine for more than a day or two, I crave sweets

      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.
