shakes and hunger/cravings

[Guest guest]

I was reading the post on VitaLady.com and the shakes helping to

curb hunger and cravings. I thought surgery made the hunger and

cravings go away? Or, is it different for everyone?

You start to have some hunger the further out you get. I find It is very

easy to satisfy. I am 1 year out and if I feel hungry I just pop a sugarfree

candy in my mouth and I am fine. Protein definitely curb hunger.

imagination. the Man Above is in charge, though it's tough to stop

> I think thats a big misconception about wls, that were not hungry

after. While physically most of us cant take as much food or else

well be miserable, mentally we have to re-train or minds to want to

eat less. Thats why my Dr. kept telling me that this is not the easy

way out. Its a lot of work!! For me anyway. I have to pray

constantly and remind myself that Im not the one in control(God is).

And always remember how blessed I am to have a second chance.

Especially after hearing all the stories of people desperately wanting

surgery and not getting approved. That helps me big time to be

grateful that I was approved so easily and have had no complications.

My mother in law has the problem of not getting full mentally and her

weightloss isnt moving very quickly. She gets really depressed. This

group has been such a great tool in helping me get back on track. I

only signed up a couple of days ago. You all inspire me. Thanks Amber
