#Now im hungry full

She said I still would have lost weight in the beginning which I didn't.Ģ years after I decided to do the gastric bypass. I did tell her that my appetite was not being suppressed and I felt like I ate much less with the Lapband. This put up red flags because I didn't eat a lot of chocolate. Got that done and it absolutely never worked for me!! The nurse assistant said it was because I ate chocolate (smh). At that time, he only did the lap band so he sent me to another doctor for the sleeve or bypass. 5cc of water in the band and I was losing weight. The 2nd time, the band slipped and when it went back in place it started penetrating through my stomach. I suffer from migraines and because of this felt nauseated 2x which made me bring everything back up. I was very proud of my weight was 233lbs and dropped to 161lbs. Good luck everyone!! No one wants to go through the pain and expense of Gastric Bypass just to gain all the weight back! I am fortunate in that I actually have low blood sugar so my doctor gave me the green light to eat as much fruit as I want (Not a big vegi fan) so I snack on a lot of apples, oranges, strawberries, etc. I think the secret is to eat healthy foods in between meals. I still feel hungry within an hour or two at most of eating. Even when I eat very healthy, lean protein, healthy calories such as fruit and vegetables, etc. Unfortunately, I think the hunger is just a side effect for some people. I originally lost 110lbs, gained 50 back over 11 years and now have lost 25 again through diet and exercise. But after a year I started feeling super hungry about an hour after every time I eat and it has been that way sense. But after about 6 months I started to feel hunger probably what a 'normal' weighted person feels. I would eat a 1/4 cup of cottage cheese and be stuffed. All blood work A1C check and glucose are normal.įor the first 3 months or so after surgery I was NEVER hungry. If I eat at first sign of hunger all symptoms are avoided. I'm holding onto the wall for balance so I don't fall going to the refrigerator.Īfter I eat any and all symptoms completely go away within 15 min. At around 150 - 160 min I feel so bad that I fell like I'm seconds away from passing out. At about 120-135 min my balance is affected and I have severe difficulty concentrating and thinking. Severe nausea and light headedness begins to set in, and I begin to feel VERY sick. At about 90 to 105 min, hunger pain is equivalent to being punched by an adult male in the stomach. Hunger pain starts about 1 hour after I last ate.

Now the problem I'm having now is I get extremely hungry very fast. Lowest weight 253 pounds and current weight is 284 pounds and climbing. When I got home I was eating stage 1 baby food for 2 mo. Diet in the hospital was 1 applesauce cup in a 24 hour period, I just wasn't hungry. I had the most severe case of the runs for a year solid (nonstop) after surgery. I was in the hospital for 8 days because of extreme pain on the left side flank incision. The above should never replace the advice of your local physicians as they have the ability to evaluate you in person.įeel very hungry after an hour 3 years post RNY gastric bypass
