I am perplexed.  I feel hungry around the afternoon and don't want to eat but I find my old patterns want to rear there head and sabotage me.    I wish someone would have told me that the feeling of not being hungry would go away and be replaced by a new monster.... REALITY check.   I find it almost like being back on a diet rather then a journey.....

But I still like the way I feel and walk and move and look  and look and look.    I do hate putting on clothes that did not fit before and now Even those are getting to big.      AND THEY WERE THE ONES I COULD NOT WAIT TO FIT INTO.    If this is what is happening at 60 pound loss how am I ever going to handle 100        I guess if all goes well for my birthday I would have to ponder that question I will be living it

I feel hunger at times, but when I do I eat something and it doesn't take much to make it go away.  It's a different kind of hunger than it was pre-op.

You might try a more dense protein like steak if you can tolerate.   I feel like it sits heavier in my stomach and I feel fuller longer.  Also, I find if I continue drinking fluids through the day I dont get as hungry.  I am still drinking two protein shakes a day and those also tend to make me feel full.  Just some things you might try.

More protein is a good idea. And more fluids - I have often mistaken thirst for hunger.

You may not be eating often enough, or getting enough protein to fuel your body. I find that eating something every 3 hours works for me. Even if it's just a few nuts, a piece of fruit, or a bit of yogurt keeps the "head hunger" at bay.

Good luck!
