Hi Tracey - I feel the same and I am a week behind you - I bet if you compared it to the postion sizes you had pre-op you would be shocked - I know I would!

I think everyone is different but just keep drinking/sipping (especially at the mo with this lovely weather) - we can sometimes mistake thurst for hunger remember.... and as long as you are eating the right foods - low fat, low sugar, minimum carbs and plenty of protein and veg I am sure you won't go wrong xx

it's proberly head hunger, your brain is telling you your hungery because thats what it's always done.

Hey Tracey - I think I know you? I have been racking my brains and then I saw a note you just posted on Ron's photo on FB..... do you know who I mean? You are the name sake of my best bud (and old housemate).... such a small world and even smaller that we seem to be starting our journey a couple of weeks a part! xx

I'm waiting for my WLS & before my PCT will consider your application you need to complete a weight loss programme. They show you how you should be eating, portion sizes etc & provide advice on after WLS. It may be an idea to try & get in touch with a local support group to speak with others who have had WLS or to ask GP if there are any groups/courses RE eating...
Good luck
xx

my local group is at my hospital 2/3 hours depending on traffic as in central london they did tell us a cup size of food but everyones cups are different hard to imagine the foodin a cup on the plate. i did complete a weight loss programme before my op i lost 3 stone .
anyhow on another note the hunger feelings gone again xx
and i weighed the lightest i have weighed in 10 years x
