HUNGRY

Hi Everybody.... I have been incrdibly buys lately... This is the first time I am seeing the new layout of OH so I didn't know about the friends list etc. Anyway.... I have had an insatiable appetite lately... I have the urge to eat practically every hour... it doesn;'t matter what I eat protein, fat, carbs, whatever....This sucks... I mean I haven't gained...YET....but this is really freaking me out... I am also sometiems eating the the point that I am stuffed inorder to feel full.... I don't know what to do. I asked my surgeon and he said welll perhaps your body doesn't want to weigh as low as it is (145-150) and this is its way of saying so... I cannot accept that...did anyone else have a similar problem and what did their sugeon say? I hope everybody is doing well.... i am gonna try to be around mor eoften...take care!!! Hugs, Stef

I went through that about a month ago. Felt like I was constantly eating, and not good stuff either... And yep, I gained. Been bouncing for months between 151 and 154/5 or so and worked myself up to 157 which is a whole lot closer to 160 than 150 and freaked a little bit. Spent a week really fighting the cravings and now this past week I haven't really felt like eating much at all. Go figure... I'm back down in my comfort zone of 153, now, so I'm happy...

Stef, I struggle with this and I'm no where near where I want to be weight-wise. I noticed the appetite increase as my exercise increased. I'm still doing the exercise though as I can really see my body shaping up. Lori 384/233/199

You said you had an "urge to eat". That sounds like head-hunger to me becauce I have the same, exact constant urges. I would eat all the time if I listened to my greedy brain constantly telling me to eat. Chewing gum helps immensly. I go through more than a pack a day. Trident Splash Strawberry lime is my drug... err... gum of choice. Good luck! Hugs, Tracy P.S. Congrats on getting down to 145!
