If you've gone hours without eating, and you're still not hungry, I would recommend eating a small meal. If you don't eat, your metabolism is going to think that you're on starvation mode, and dramatically slow down. Eating next to nothing can actually stop you from losing weight. Eat your three small meals a day & be done with it. Or, if you REALLY can't stomach eating, have a Protein Shake. And if you're having issues with eating overall, call your doctor. You might need a band adjustment.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
