Hungry a lot
on 10/9/07 3:47 am - IL
I sure hope you get an answer because I have been experiencing the same thing and I am little over five months out. It does not matter how much or how little I eat within an hour I am hungry again. I have tried drinking to curb the hunger pains, but liquid only goes so far, and my surgeon does not want you snacking (on solid foods) between meals, he says 3 meals and if I have to have something between then drink protein shacks or yoguart. Sure hope someone can help. Thanks
I think most of the hunger is Head Hunger - a demon that lives along with the Carb monster! LOL!!! Mind over matter is a true statement! Our minds tell us that we are hungry but I bet if you were at the movies or at the mall walking around - you would never notice it. It is crazy!! I am over 3 years out and I still get it. Sometimes I give in and sometimes I try to find something else to do (responsing to this post is one of them) I thought my pouch did not work but it did - I made it to goal and now I work hard at maintaining - I have my good days and bad. It is a struggle emotionally and physically everyday! I wish I had a straight answer but unfortunatly everyone has to find what works for them. Stay busy and positive - I know you will get pass this!
