After my sleeve surgery (12/12/16) the bariatric nurse told me that I would not feel hunger for about a year. Was anyone else told that?

So the last couple of weeks, I am HUNGRY all the time! Still eating the same, about 100g Protein daily, low carbs, working out and drinking tons of Water. I've lost right at 80 since surgery. Anyone else have this issue? I am scared.... it is truly a struggle, again.

It gets worse. I starve myself, no carbs in this house, and I cannot lose a pound after regaining 30 lbs.

Miss Robin is at goal, so she gets Peanut Butter.

For anyone wanting to keep losing... fill up on non-starchy veggies. Don't add fat unless you're Keto.

My favorite way of preparing veggies..

Uncooked: pick up a Tomato or bell pepper and eat it like an apple.

Cooked: boil things like green Beans and broccoli in an inch or two of Water (covered). When its pretty much done cooking, let the water cook off and the veggies brown (not burn). It caramelizes the naturally occuring sugars and yum yum. I frequently don't even have to add water to frozen veggies cooked this way.

... maybe not as healthy as lightly steamed, but I'll eat a bunch more of it and not feel deprived.

Also measure out 1 oz of nuts and have that if you are able to eat nuts. They are calorie dense and it will help curb hunger. Make sure you weigh your portion! The key is to find healthy alternatives stay away from processed sugar!!

I eat a ton of salads now. They are low calorie, healthy, and it works for me.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
