I'm a little over three months and still feeling that way. It's especially difficult when my husband's away for work and no one is there to force feed me. Lol. I eat bc it's time to eat. I'm rarely hungry and don't really have many cravings (if I do, it's usually for steak). I actually hope this continues.

Remember it's very important to follow the 60/60/60 rule. 60 grams of Protein. 60 ounces of Water. 60 minutes of working out. At the beginning walking is fine.

I rarely feel hungry so it's a full-time job for me to make sure I eat throughout the day. It would be very easy for me to not eat or drink for hours at a time. It's easier to stay on track during the week at work but on the weekends, I struggle big time.

I have to work at remembering to eat. I am only a week out so my Dr says that is to be expected. You do need to make sure you get plenty of Protein in or you will start to use your muscles for energy to live. I have read many have to plan each meal ahead. That may help you. Plan each day out what you are going to have so you meet your nutritional goals

I wish I felt that way.,, I've always had a very active appetite and thank goodness now when I do eat, I'm a least satisfied (for the most part)... I'm only 12 days post op though... Get your minimums in though so you keep healthy!

      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.
