    Default does anyone else still feel hunger?

    I'm week 7 post op & I still get hungry like I used to. Obviously don't eat like I did but find I eat something every 2-3hrs from hunger & if I go longer I feel nauseas. Will this change? Had hoped never to feel hunger again!! I've lost 19kg (43lb) so I'm happy enough with that. I haven't started exercising yet tho but have been thinking about it more lately.

    I get hungry too! If I go longer than 3-4 hours, I tend to want to eat faster...but make myself slow down.

    My nutritionist said to eat something every 2 hours so you don't get hungry. Just a little and always start with a protein. In time this should evolve into 3 meal and 2 or 3 snacks. Important part was keep it small, so you don't stretch the stomach, and always start with 1/2 protein and then 1/2 other food such as veggies and fruit and whole grains. So I guess what I am saying is don't let your self get hungry and eat often but small amounts. She also said by eating frequently it helps to keep the metabolism revved up and you will lose faster. Best wishes and Happy Holidays. I guess it is already Christmas over there.



    Highest weight 440 lbs. lowest weight 9.5 lbs at birth
    Date of surgery weight 340
    12 week checkup 301 BMI <50 yeah!

    You have other glands in your body that produce the hunger hormone, so while having the fundus removed will decrease your hunger, it will not make it totally go away. I do still get hungry, but no where near they way it felt before surgery. I actually did a video about a weird insane hunger that I felt a couple of days ago and what I did to correct it. Maybe it will help you as well. Good luck!

    I am still very hungry. i thought I would starve the first 2 weeks, it makes me snippy too. It is better since I can eat more food now. I think I am as hungry as before the surgery when I would deprive myself of food while dieting. Im just trying not to worry about it.
