I am hungry, one thing Sue B. suggested is drinking 3 protien shakes a day. I have only managed to get in two, I have always had one for breakfast, now I have one as soon as I get home from work and it curbs the nighttime urge to munch. Then in a couple hours I eat a sensible dinner. I started four days ago and have already lost 3 pounds. I'm sure it's from upping the protien. Even when I used to do weigh****chers I found that if I drank a glass of skim milk it curbed my hunger, now with the added protien, it probably helps even more. Dianne 340/166/150 or less

I will be a year out next week, and I am hungry! No one ever told me my hunger would return. I should be happy with my 145lb weight loss, instead i am depressed and scared because I feel hungry almost like I did before and i still need to lose at least 50 lbs. I thought this struggle would be gone for good. Now I am living with shame and guilt and fear again. Can anyone relate or help? Thanks for reading this, Julie M

You know I hadn't really thought about it....It is next week...I guess I have been so focused on losing that last stubborn pound so I can make it into the Century Club...it makes my anniversary almost anti-climatic. So what to do...hmmm...nails, check...pedicure, check...facial, check...these are things I already do...still thinking...I'll get back to you.

You look SO GREAT ~ thank you for sharing those pictures with us! Keep up the good work! Sue 318/169 Already past my goal

Just wondering what everyone else is doing to mark making it to their 1 year post-op? It just happnes that my surgery date and my birthday are very close together and I've always taken a vacation for my birthday so now it works to include the celebration for my WLS. When I was away I planned a horseback ride as my reward for losing the weight, it was a great time and the highlight of my trip. Lulu -171
