6 Reasons Your Appetite Returns After WLS
Although weight loss surgery is an amazing tool, it doesn’t guarantee you won’t get hungry. In fact, you may be one of those patients whose appetite returns soon after surgery. If this describes you, in this podcast I discuss ways to help you outsmart your biology and silence the hunger.
Appetite regulation
This episode digs into six different areas to consider if you find your appetite has returned:
- Food
- Movement
- Stress
- Sleep
- Gut Bacteria
- Genetics
The basics
It’s important to not ignore the basics. Exhausting the quick easy fixes makes sense. Looking at food choices, fuel needs, assessing life’s demands and maximizing your sleep are areas that can produce quick results.
Bacterial balance
If you’ve corrected the basics but are still struggling, it might be time to work on healing your gut. Bacterial balance can make all the difference in controlling hunger.
Finally, if you’ve never explored your genetics it may be time for testing to identify your personal genes that may be driving hunger.
We uncover some very surprising genetics
- hungry genes
- sugar craving genes
