HUNGRY AFTER AN HOUR??

TOMORROW I AM 11 WEEKS POST OP. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE KNOWS ABOUT WHY I WOULD GET HUNGRY AN HOUR AFTER I HAVE EATEN? I AM EATING GOOD SOLID PROTEIN. I HAVE TO DRINK TONS OF WATER INSTEAD OF EATING TO STAY FULL. THIS WASN'T HAPPENING BEFORE. ONCE IVE PRETTY MUCH WATER LOGGED MYSELF I AM FINE AND I CAN GO ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS WITHOUT EATING. WEIRD. WILL THIS TO PASS?

I'm a terrible grazer and can nibble none stop. If you find a solution please let me know.

 

I find myself eating all day just to get enough protein in... are you getting enough protein? I dont think its a problem if your eating the right things. But im new at this also.

Its funny how things can change while trying to eat with being a new DS'r.  I thought I was doing good eating,"nibbling" every couple of hours, now I just have one bite of something that sounds good, and I gag.....  And if somebody talks about something "offputting", I gag.  That seems like thats all I ever do.  So Im drinking more protien shakes to keep up, and wondering if this is just a stage and will it go away.  Ive read about people like you before that feel hungry all the time, I dont know what the answer is, "sorry".  Maybe ,like me just pray that it is temporary, and its going to go away with more time....  I hope this resolves for you.....

I am getting around 135 grams of protein a day. and yes i understand about the gagging thing. i bought a pizza 2 weeks ago for my daughters and when they opened it wow it made me sick. yesterday my daughter got a hamburger at bk and when she opened it i was gagging and had to roll the car window down. things i used to eat i cant stand now. i am eating protein all day. i dont get in but one veggie or 1 fruit at night. it depends on what my mood is. i dont eat carbs unless i decide to eat a protein bar. the bars have 10 and 20 grams of protein in them. i eat one maybe 2-3 times a week.

I'm like this.  I know exactly what you mean.  Some times I eat the next meal within 30 minutes cause that's how long it takes to make it.  And I know it's happening - I am not eating just a couple of bites.  I'm eating a cup of food at time.

It goes through waves for me.  Some times I am hungry enough to eat my arm if I had salt and pepper handy.  I noticed that if I had one day where I ate a lot of fat, high calorie proteins, and my calories were around 3500 - this constant hunger would quit for a while.  Try it.  Eat heavily one day, really high calories fats also, and see if it doesn't reset your hunger meter.

Also, make sure you are current on all your vits.  Taking everything?  Are you taking your iron alone, not mixing it with caffeine, eggs,  dairy or calcium?  Taking it with Vit C?  Getting all your calcium in?   If you are craving a certain type of food, make sure you are taking all your vits every day.

I just had my blood drawn yesterday to see what vits I need an how much. My dr doesn't even have me on iron. I don't think I'm gettin enough citrical an I'm on centrum an fish oi,l b12, acidolphilus, an biotin. Idk y I'm takin biotin

Are you taking D? A?  E?  K?

How far out from your surgery are you?

Biotin helps hair grow - note, that can be ALL hair on some people so watch out for new facial whiskers.

Sounds like you need to get on the Vitalady program.  She does pre-packaged vites for DSers here http://www.vitalady.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?multiadd=action &msku0=1930X90DS&mqty0=1&msku1=1999XDS&mqty1=1

You just need to add vitamin K2 which she also sells and then tweak your vites once you've had your first labs back (I had to adjust up on some - not down on any).
