3 months post op hungry



Recommended Posts

3 months post op losing weight but stomach hungry all the time why?

If I have a Premier Protein drink it goes away but every few hours I'm hungry.

I'm eating Oikos triple zero yogurt, Premier Protein Drinks, chicken or fish 4 ounces. No bread no Pasta sticking with the program down about 70 lbs since Feb 15 but always hungry. I stopped taking Prilosec last month and have no issues with gerd. Thanks for any input.

Are you always hungry or hungry every few hours? You really do need to eat every few hours a small meal. I get hungry every few hours too. My daily calorie goal at this point is 1200. What is your daily calorie goal?

You could try going back on the antacid and see if it makes a difference. Otherwise, make sure you are getting 3 meals and a snack, solid food will be more satisfying than the shakes.

Thanks for the reply I get hungry every few hours and I probably been eating only 600 calories per day I stopped counting. Maybe I'm not eating enough

You really need to track to make sure you are getting enough calories and Protein. I know it can be a pain but it's really vital.

I'd keep taking the prilosec, Don't be like me, lol. There is no harm in taking it for 6 to 9 months and a lot to not taking it.

Just because you don't feel GERD issues doesn't mean you aren't producing excess acid.

If you can eat food at other meals, eat food at all meals. Give up the Protein Shakes, and yogurt is just a slider. Eat ral potein as much as possible.

My day:

1. Coffee/1 cup milk/vitamins (18g protein)

2. Spinach/fruit smoothie

3. 4oz cottage cheese (15g protein)

4. 1 egg/ .75 cup lentil Soup (15g protein)

5. 1 ounce nuts (7g protein)

6. 2-4 oz meat (14-28g protein)

I usually only get the first 2 in before noon, so it is pushing to get everything else in before bed. I'm 8 weeks postop.

Sounds good I assume you use non fat cottage cheese? Love the lentil soup
Thanks

      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.
