hunger returns

i am 15 months out & now I find myself hungry all the time. Anyone else have this if so what did you do to combat the hunger? I'm so afraid of eating too much & the wrong stuff & then gaining the weight back

Cheryl, I have shared that same issue. After a spell of too much experimentation, I have recently gone back to focusing primarily on protein and vegetables. I had let in too many carbs and those carbs just made me want more carbs. I'm doing much better. I've also recharged my commitment to drink water. I'd also suggest that you go back and read the material that you were given when you first had the surgery. You can always re-learn some of those things you forgot. Your pouch stands ready to serve you when you are ready to work it again. Best wishes on taking the control back. John

I guess our pouches were good only so long. I'm battling the hunger too. I got really lazy with fluids for a while. Things just got SOOOOOOOOOOOO busy that drinking and peeing all the time just weren't options for me. But, things are a bit calmer so I'm getting in my fluids. I found that sipping on either my water or some iced tea with Splenda and I'm good to go. I don't have the munchies as bad when pouchy is nice and full of fluids. Good luck! * Cyndi *
