Am I Weird?



Recommended Posts

Lately I have been able to drink my morning coffee and I don't eat Breakfast til about 11am. Is this normal? Am I getting a taste of the green zone? Only bad thing is, my food cravings/hunger is worse in the evening, I have to keep myself busy, and there is only so much cleaning and yard work I can do before it's all accomplished lol.

5/28/12 pre-op diet started (217lbs) 6/14/12 Surgery 1.8cc added to 10cc band (205lbs). 7/17/12 1st fill (194lbs). 7/24/12 (191lbs) 7/30/12 (187lbs) 8/14/12 1cc added total of 3.8cc (187) 9/14/12 .3cc added total of 4.1cc (179lbs)

I actually find on the days I drink my skinny caramel macchiato at around 10am and do not eat Breakfast, I can go until mid afternoon before being hungry. I swear if I eat my steel cut oatmeal puck and Greek yogurt, I'm hungry in about four hours.

I would say it's not normal but what is? I've seen similar posts from other bandsters so it happens. I still eat my 3 meals and 2 Snacks a day and I'm hungry much of the time. The band has never stopped my hunger, it's only stopped me from eating too much when I do eat. So, it works for me.

i dont eat in the mornings (as i am not hungry and feel to tight)

i guess since we are all different, we experience different things. like tmf said, what is normal???

like you, i am sure i could eat more in the evenings if i allowed myself but i do make sure

i practice Portion Control and use my (so called) good sense. haha

I drink a shake in the morn I don't eat never did but you need the Protein. At night I make me a smoothie with fruit it helps with the hunger and if I didn't get much protein in the day I add some dry to it.

      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.
