Question:
I am three months post RNY...

and my appetite returned with a vengeance yesterday. I actually feel my empty, growling stomach, something I have not felt in years. I am trying to limit my intake to protein to calm this feeling down. What can I expect as more time passes? Does this feeling of hunger come and go? Thanks    — Ann B. (posted on May 15, 2002)

HOW are you doing the protein? Shakes? Meat? The shakes really stave my appetite. Good luck and God Bless!

Ann, I done this also... But when I checked it out, my period was but a couple days away and as soon as it went away, my appitite did too, and has done so for the last two months (ugh) ... Just watch what you're eating, which it sounds like you're doing :) Find some "good for you snacks" (I've noticed a lot of us have chosen pickles and fresh veggies) and be glad you're living a new life :) Good luck on your journey...
