Not Hungry Today



Recommended Posts

Is it normal to just not be hungry? I ate a small salad with about 2 oz grilled chicken today and that is all. I've debated whether my band is too tight, but I can eat just fine when I do eat. How often should I be hungry if I am in the 'green' zone? Its not everyday I am like this- only once or twice a week.

Perfectly normal...I get days all the time where I don't feel like eating anything.

There are days, if I am occupied doing something else I completely forget about eating completely. Does not mean I won't snack on something like chips or whatever.

I feel sorry for my non banded wife. One day we took a train into the city to see a Broadway Play. Had my shake early am, then we caught the train at 10:30am. Got into the city then walked to the play which started at 1pm. After the play, we walked around a bit before heading back to the train station. Said we would stop to eat but everything was crowded and it did not seem that important to me.

At that point I said screw it, why bother eating at all at this point? It was my poor wife who finally said, at 9pm, that she needed to stop and eat or she would pass out.

food is way down on my list of things that are important to me. I have to remind and force myself to eat most days not because I'm hungry or even interested, but because I know I need to.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
