If your stomach is actually growling, then you may not be eating enough to be hungry every 1.5 hours. Or if you're working out, goes back to not eating enough. Could also be that you're just thirsty. Hard to say without details.

Focusing on dense Protein is key for me, as well as some fats. Then non-starchy veggies.

Avoiding sugar, flour, potatoes, rice, Pasta, breads & starchy veggies except for rare occasions also minimizes hunger for me.

I also, rarely have fruit, if I do, it's a small amount. The sugars cause cravings/hunger as well.

Maintenance has been trial & error to find what satisfies & keeps me full, it's a work in progress.

I also continue to leave a 1/2 hour before/after eating to consume calorie free liquids. This helps the food stay in your stomach longer.

But are you really hungry? Remember it is really hard to starve yourself and when I hear my kids say I'm hungry I just laugh at them because none of them are wracked with hunger pains. They just want to eat!

We are very close in our journey date wise and weight wise so I know how you feel. For me I still don't get hunger pains but I do get the desire to eat .. almost wanting to feel normal again so I have been snacking more but I wouldn't call it hunger.

I wonder if your starting to feel the stress about hitting your goal and wondering what you will need to focus on next. I have said to myself so many times in the last few months .. losing is easy .. how am I going to keep it off?!

Just remember were you were a year ago .. and focus on something else.. focus on something that doesn't have carbs =D I swear carbs makes me hungry.

Keep it together!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
