I am HUNGRY today :(

Hey guys ! I am five weeks out and today is the first day I am HUNGRY and my stomach is growling ferociously I pretty much eat the same stuff everyday and drink the same amount so this has got me bewildered ? Have any of you gone through this ?? I am not eating any more than the meals I have been eating ...Maybe I need more protein ? HELP !! So far today : 1 oz sharp cheddar cheese with three Breton wheat and wheat germ wafers 3 oz white crab meat with 1 tblespoon ****tail sauce 1/4 cup smoked almonds and around 36 oz drinks so far .. I am getting ready to have an applesauce soon but why am I feeling so hungry ? I even imagined that all the staples dividing the pouch from my regular stomach popped out for some reason ( my stomach HAS been spasming since surgery off and on ) and there is a big empty cavern waiting for me to feed it again !! HELP !!!

Dear Kathryn, I had my lap rny on 5\10\04 and had one day about a week ago where I felt hungry all day even though I was eating the same foods, I just ate a protein snack- cheese stick or protein shake until I felt satisfied. The hungar was gone the next day and did not return. My only concern is I seem to have reached a plateau (lost 30lbs since surgery but none in the last 2 weeks) I am exercising more and perhaps building muscle also 30lbs is great wt loss since surgery so I won't complain.

I get hungry also. I talked with the bariatric surgery coordinator here and she said that some people do but that it eventually goes away for a while. I'm hoping she's right. I'm scared that I'll start eating too much and won't lose any more weight. You aren't alone.

I had the same issue last Tuesday. I had three servings of ff refried beans w/cheese and was still hungry. I had some rice crispies cereal and skimmed milk and still felt hungry so I went to bed. The next day and since then, forget it. I can not get in all the protein and water I should. I guess its a normal thing.... Luanne 334/307/160
