Over hungry before realizing it?



Recommended Posts

Today I drank my Protein shake for Breakfast. I didn't get hungry and it was going on noon and I had an emergency come up that I had to deal with before I could eat. Next thing I know it's 12:15 and I am dizzy and shaking. I knew I was hungry. I sipped my Water until I could eat my lunch.< /p>

Have any of you had the issue of hitting over hungry before you realize you are hungry at all?

that is why I eat every 4 hours whether hungry or not just in case. I also keep a shake and Snapple in the car in case I get stuck somewhere. I have diabeties also (it's getting much better ) so it is also there when I get to low. I ve really learned how to set myself up for the emergancys.

I bought a few Protein Bars for back up. Have yet to have one but they are there if I need them. Don't want to make poor food choices because I am hungry.

This was a scary experience. I work in a school and with what I was dealing with I literaly couldn't get to something to eat for a little bit. Thankfully before leaving my office I had picked up my Water bottle. I so felt like I would pass out I was shaking so bad. Thankfully, as soon as I wraped things up I was able to get my lunch and that help, just had a bad head ache later.

Gotta get better about eating a snack at 4-5 hours if I want it or not.

This has happened to me once or twice. The first time, I was busy and didn't feel hungry( !, a new feeling!) Then when I realized I was hungry, I couldn't decide what to eat. So, I went to my standby tuna sald wrap and ate about 1/4 of the salad only, not the wrap.

I now do carry a Protein Bar and Water with me. I have now become one of those people who carry a water bottle with them wherever I go!

I have found myself becoming dehydrated several times and this causes me to find it hard to take solid food.

I learn something new evry day!

This is why we eat on a schedule. Over hungry means overeating... bad. The Protein bars can be a godsend.... even a bite or two will help. Make time for you. You are important too,and no good if you pass out from a sugar low!

      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.
