Topic: RE: Appetite Returning w/ Vengeance
Hi Claudia
I don't get hungry but I have been finding myself going to the fridge and looking to see what's inside....and that is an old BAD habit. I seem to want to graze so I have decided to only take what I am going to eat at work for 1 day so the temptation is not there.
I try to keep my appetite down by drinking water. Others have said it helps.
Congrats on the weight loss
You are definately doing something right!!

5'5" tall - I'd be happy getting to 150-170 (no spring chicken here), but not sure I'll make it - the weight loss has slowed. Haven't been able to exercise much because of the knees, but they've started to feel better now, so I can get out and do walking. YOU are doing great! 92 POUNDS OFF. Think more water is needed with more exercise, too. I wonder why you can only get in 16-24 oz? You must be drinking other fluids with that?

85# how wonderful!!
Sorry to hear you had such a ruff start. I'm very glad you are doing better.
I haven't thrown up and hope I never do. I heard it hurts like the dickens.
I have dumped though. Never want to do that again.
Hopefully you will be all healed up soon and can add a little more to your can eat list.

I don't know if it is common but I get hungry sometimes. It is not the same intense hungry feeling as before and it only last for a few seconds. I could ignore it if I wanted to. I was not hungry at all for the first 3 months and now it is just like a reminder to eat. I hope to hear from others on this, Janice

Hello all! I am so frustrated reading all of the posts. I had my surgery on 10/6/04. I weighed 264 and am just now 214. That's only 50 pounds in 5 months and I lost 20 of it in the first month. I am exercising, getting most of my protein and taking my vitamins. I am anxious to get this off of me!!!! I do have some saggy skin, especially in my arms and my breasts are now down around my knees
but I'll deal with all that when I lose all of the weight.
