Post-op 5 months HUNGER RETURNS FEIRCELY!

Hello all, I dont know whats going on with me,but Im SCARED of gaining my weight back.This past week,from awaking to bed-time,I have been H U N G R Y ! I had laproscopic gastric bypass about 5 months ago.On day of surgery I was 310lbs.Almost 5 months later Im at 190lbs.I was a 44 waist NOW im a 32.As far as my eating habits the last 5 months,HONESTLY,they probally havnt been the best.Id wake up,go for like 4 to6 hours without EATING-(wasnt hungry)when I got hungry,Id eat either a small peice of steak,tuna,or chicken breast. sometimes id mix the meats with BUSH'S baked beans. MAYBE....MAYBE....Id get 2 of these meals in a day.Sometimes Id eat wonton egg drop soup.Chicken w/brocalli with garlic sauce, grape-nuts ceral with skim plus milk.I drink crystal light GREEN TEA all day & night.Sometimes I have a soft shell taco supreeme & refried beans at TACO-BELL.In the first 4 months,I always ate too fast,& I had trouble holding what I ate down.Id throw up 90% of the times I ate.I excersise.Weights & cardio. COMPLACATIONS? 2 things...something VERY weird & I went to a coupole of doctors & they cant really tell me what it is.....maybe some of you experienced this? MY TOUNGE....its BLACK!!! I get a black strip down my tounge!Its really dark,not just a shade..Its BLACK! And my mouth is ALWAYS DRY...to the point where I HAVE TO CARRY A CUP OF WATER AROUND WITH ME & FILL IT & DRINK ALL DAY! At night time when Im sleeping,I have to get up throughout the night to re-fill my cup,because my mouth will get soooo dry....it would hurt! The dr.s THINK its bacteria & gave me this yellow liquid to rinse with....dosnt help. OTHER than that...everything was going good!I am HAPPY with my surgery....BUT NOW....this hunger issue. Now my habits are the following.....I wake up...Ill have a bowl of Grape-nuts ceral with skim plus & a peice of fruit OR scrambelled eggs with low fat cheese.Ill eat a decent sized serving....then Im hungry an hour or 2 later!never REALLY sastis fied from the meal when I come to think of it.Im able to hold off for 2 more hours though before I eat lunch....Ill eat a peice of chicken breast with corn OR a peice of steak eith corn or spainach OR a Roast beef & low fat chees on a pita Sometimes Ill add a bowl of soup before the previous lunce selections.2 to 3 hours later...Im HUNGRY AGAIN! This NEVER happend till the last week...IF I ATE 2 X a DAY (and kept it down) It was a miricale!!! Now...Ill hold off for a couple of more hours & Ill have the same as the lunch menue I just wrote OR CERAL with a peice of fruit.THEN IM HUNGRY A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER AGAIN.While I watch TV...Ill munch on a couple of RICE CAKES untill Im full OR Ill have another bowl of ceral.then Ill have a lowfat SKINNY bar........teh point Im trying to make is Im eating more & more,Im eating bigger portions,& there NOT HOLDING me long at all! Whats going on with me?Am I eating correctly?Am I doing something wrong?Am I on the road to gaing all my weight back? Ive been checking the SCALE daily.......havent gained a pound.Im HOPING it will stay this way.....any oppinions? really would appreacite some feedback & advice on this! Thank-you, Eddie

first of all congrats on your wonderful weight loss. second, have you spoken to your surgeon and/or nutritionist??? third, it sounds like you might need to up the protein and lose some of the carbs. are you drinking enough every day??? just some thoughts of mine, but i would talk to a professional about this. good luck, dont panic, im sure these issues will resolve, hugs,,,,,,,,, jacki

Eddie~ Great job on the weight loss! I do have 2 suggestions for help with your issues. FIRST, get in touch with your dietician/nutritionist. SECONDLY, get to a support group QUICKLY and read them your above post. I am SURE many others have gone through the same exact issues. God Bless! Michelle Brennan

Good Job on your loss!!! Have you tried protien drinks and maybe snacking on high protien foods like soynuts and regular nuts. Also try going to a support group and see if anyone else has had this problem. I 'm also 5mths out and im eating more then i use to but i think that might be normal at this point. Good Luck
