I am using Blue Point Surgical group. I have Dr. Nain. Dr. Halmi is also highly recommended. I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Gail one of the bariatric coordinators is a doll. She helped me out a lot. I am having surgery at Sentara( Potomoc Hospital) in woodbridge on Jan 30. My first appt with them was November 1st. So good luck. Maybe we can be a good support for each other. I live in Spotsylvania ,Va

Hi there,

 

This is the nature of these message boards.  Not much chatter unless a post is specially interesting.  Anyway, not familiar with that organization.  I hope it all goes good for you as well.

 

 

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.

Topic: Hunger vs Satiety

Are you “listening?

Hunger vs. Satiety Chart

 

1...………………….Stuffed to the point of feeling sick

2…Very uncomfortable, you need to loosen your belt

3….………….……Uncomfortable full, you are stuffed

4…..….…Very full, you feel like you have over eaten

5…………………...Comfortably full, you are satisfied

6……………………Contented, neither full nor hungry

7………………………….Beginning signals of hunger

8……………………………………Hungry need to eat

9…………………Very hungry, unable to concentrate

10……………..………………Starving, dizzy, irritable

 

 

 

Where are you right now on this chart? At number five you have satiety, if you are above this

number on the chart you have over eaten. If you are at six, you are neutral, neither hungry nor full.

If you are at a seven, then you are beginning to get hungry and need to consider eating soon. If

you let your hunger go for a while, you will start to feel the physical signs of hunger.

Clueless about weight loss and weight loss surgery of any kind.
