I'm Not Hungry, I Don't Want To Eat



Recommended Posts

I am feeling something and can't quite put my finger on it. As I sit here eating my veggie burger I all-of-a-sudden did not feel like eating (it is still on my plate), I just wanted to stop :unsure::huh: ... and I know I am suppose to get in at least 60 grams of Protein and I am barely half way there. What's going on?

Morning Star Farms is a fave of mine not to mention it is NOT CHEAP.

Any thoughts? Anyone else gone/going thru this? :huh:

Yup- don't buy anything in large amounts, even if you used to like it a lot pre-op.

I retained a lot of my tastes, but some folks completely lose any desire for things that they used to like.

Keep in mind that most folks can't get to 60 grams by eating food, it often takes a supplement to get there - pick a Protein drink you like, or add the powder to other things you make to increase your numbers.

Your primary concerns should be pretty much like this:

#1 - Water

#2 - Exercise

#3 - Protein

#2 & #3 can be interchangeable, and shouldn't be completely static like I'm suggesting - you just have to figure out where your new balance is and work with it.

Thank you.

That is something to think about and work on.

I get in the water...do a lot of walking (can't afford the price of a gym - yet), and as for the protein.... working on it. :mellow::)

      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.
