Does anyone ever have hungry days?

Today has been one of those hungry days!  Seems I simply could not be satisfied.  I have not ate anything that I shouldn't have but I could have ate my car I believe.  Does anyone have days like this?  I had my protein shake first thing, then about mid morning I had an apple.  Did I do something to trigger the hunger or is this typical?  I have been craving salt like crazy.  I can pour it in my hand and eat.  I have been eating a lot of Tyson grilled chicken breast, blueberries, cheese sticks, jerky and greek yogurt.  Basically everything my nutritionist has advised me to eat. 

Wondering what you guys have/had gone through.  If anyone has a food journal I would also love to see it.

Thanks all....

I had a different surgery than you (duodenal switch), but I definitely have days where I can eat more than others.  It's often tied to my period, just like it was before surgery.

Give me a minute to stop laughing! Eating my car??? So that is what’s wrong with me. Hungry days? That’s what it’s called!   And I thought I was the only one! I drive a big SUV so now I know why the scale keeps going up!   Ok, seriously, yes some days it seems I need am just to satisfied. Sounds like at least you are sticking to healthy choices though. I cannot say the same. When I am not satisfied, whatever I see, goes in the mouth! I call it the ‘Seafood Diet days! I see food and eat it!   Ok, I did say seriously…It does occur about once a month, so I think it my be hormonal.   Definitely continue to make those healthy choices. I will too!   I keep a food journal off an on. It would help you learn what NOT to do and earn me a true but whippin! It reminds me of the bad choices I make and where I need to make changes. I used daily plate and found more than anything that when I relied on processed food, my daily sodium intake was beyond  heart attack level!


If I am gonna eat   like a fat girl, then I gotta workout   like a skinny girl!

You are too funny.  I don't have any control.  I am scared to death if I start putting "bad" items in my mouth, I will not know when to quit.  I have lost the same 100 pounds a hundred times, and I soooooooo want to be sucessful this time. 

Thanks for the post, you made me laugh!

I am this way about once a month! Definately hormonal! PMS!! Yes I could eat the car and the house too if I didn't have great breaks called RNY! It will only let me go so far off the beaten path! I crave salt like crazy. One of my favorite things is cheddar cheese popcorn. OMG. BRING ON THE SMART POP! Cheese its, goldfish pretzels,nuts etc. I call it my CARB ATTACK. That bunny has been hopping the last few day! I need to shoot him. I try to stick to healthy choices to one of my favorite things is yogart with granola in it. Guess this is a far cry from the olde days of a big mac and fries. Good luck ...keep rocking your tool! Shoot that CARB BUNNY!
Nothing tastes as good as this feels!
