Arthur Belly 4 Posted January 4, 2020 Hi All I had a gastric bypass done on the 16th December 2019 and followed all the guidelines. I have been having Soup, yogurt or jelly but now before I go on to the puree foods stage I find I am hungry all the time. I was told that this wouldn't happen. I can also drink as much as I want all the time. I am just confused as to why I am hungry all the time, when at first I was always full. Has anyone else felt like this? Weight loss has stopped now. I have lost a total of 12Lb after gaining 2LB last few days. Thankyou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eporter 69 Posted January 4, 2020 Are you getting your Protein in? I just had a little stall and I started eating (drinking) more protein and started losing again. I think that could be head hunger you have or the protein could also help with that. 1 Arthur Belly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

momof3_angels 465 Posted January 5, 2020 You know, I am four months out and when I read this, I just realized I am finally not "feeling hungry" all the time. For the first nearly 4 months... my stomach was always present in my mind with nerve endings and rumblings that felt like co stant hunger. I have known all along that what I was feeling couldn't be constant hunger... but that constant feeling sure did a great job mimicking hunger. So, after the first couple weeks I realized I needed to have regular intervals where I allowed myself to eat on a schedule. Every 2 1/2 hours I allowed my self to eat if I felt I needed to, but no more frequent than that. Lately the intervals have been further apart. But now I am realizing that constant feeling is finally gone and my real hunger is much more obvious. I guess it took my stomach 4 months to fully heal and figure out what it really needs! In the meantime, drink your Water to fill in the gap between stomach confusion and real hunger.Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app 2 Serengirl and Arthur Belly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
