Guest guest Posted April 22, 2000 Report Share Posted April 22, 2000 I am not experienced enough to answer your question, but I am curious enough to also know about it. Does anyone on this e-mail ring have any answers about cravings, possible hunger post-op, etc...?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 22, 2000 Report Share Posted April 22, 2000 I just discovered this web site. In searching through OSSG sources, I also discovered a group called OSSG Hungry. I am not a member, but from the brief description, evidently there is a group of people out there who suffer from hunger all the time despite their small stomach size. Cravings I can understand; that is not true hunger. But, apparently these people feel the surgery has failed them and left them still unable to conquer hunger and control portions. As I said, I am not a member, so don't know too many details. However, that is one of my biggets worries; that this surgery will fail and, despite the best efforts on my part, I will still be fighting feelings of hunger post surgery. I did that for so long on so many low calorie, liquid, etc. diet plans that I don't ever want to be that way again. I am desparate to be permanently successfuly this time with my weight loss. But, what's the deal with hunger after surgery (again, not cravings). My surgery date is fast approaching and I am nervous enough without worrying that I will not succeed AGAIN! Any help appreciated.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2000 Report Share Posted April 22, 2000 There were many times I felt hungry and what made it worse I was in the Hospital and had no way of getting extra meals 3 a day. So I saved fruit, I ordered Fruit and Graham Crackers with every meal and saved them. At night I would start an apple and two hours later throw almost half away. Those snacks help.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 2000 Report Share Posted April 23, 2000 , You will still have your hungry times, and cravings once the surgery is done, however, the amount it takes to suit your needs is barely nothing. Example was yesterday...I was craving " something " , and could not find " it " for the life of me. This resulted in grazing a lot, however, my choices included, pretzels, a lil bit of SF ice cream, and one cookie. This was throughout the day, and I definitely paid for it this a.m. but feel fine now. Back before surgery, I would have eaten ALL of the pretzels, chips, cheese-its, about a pint or so of ice cream, then washed it down with a Mcs shake. Even though I had a lousy eating day yesterday, it's over, and I'm going to focus more on my nutritional guidelines today...even though it's Easter! I will have a scoop of this, a scoop of that, but not overdoing it, and NO DESSERT! Good luck!
