I am 12 weeks out from my VSG. I was doing fine on about 600 calories per day and losing slowly but consistently (down 39 lbs****il this past week. 600 calories is just not keeping me full any longer. I am still eating almost exclusively protein, but find I am hungry between meals now and by dinner time, I am ravenous. My next appointment with my nutritionist is not until mid March, so I am wondering if I should increase my calories to 800-900 at this point. I don't want to stop losing, but I am worried because my appetite is BACK!

Typical day:

B: 1 egg with 1 oz meat and 1 oz cheese (or guac).

Sx2: 1 oz chicken or pork jerky or half container Oikos triple zero

L: 3 oz protein like grilled chicken - or - tuna salad w/parmesan crisps - or - 3 oz tilapia filet

D: Depends on what I am making for the family, modified for my diet.

E: Walking 8,000-10,000 steps or treadmill with some weights.

At this point, hunger is most often from acid, dehydration, or just your head playing tricks on you. Try taking a PPI or H2 blocker and see if that helps. Increase your liquid intake and see if that helps.
