Question:
At 4 1/2 months out i am always hungry!

I am so afraid old habits are sneaking back in. I find myself wanting to eat often. I have been keeping close count on fluids and protein. Has my pouch streched? Weight loss has slowed as well to only 1 lb per week! Platuea? Help! I am 36 lbs to goal. Wendy 10/29/02 RNY 259/181/145    — Wendy H. (posted on March 15, 2003)

Wendy, Stop beating yourself up. You are 68% of the way to your goal in only 4-1/2 months, that is amazing. Since you had 114 lbs to lose, you are going to slow down earlier than someone who has 250 bs to lose, like me. How much are you eating at this point? Maybe it's not enough and that's why you are hungry. How does it correspond with your surgeon's plan? Most people seem to be able to break their plateau's by upping their water and protein and cutting back on some of the carbs etc. I would just work the program and the balance will come. You are doing so well. Just relax, go for a bike ride or walk and enjoy your new healthier slimmer self. Chris
