I think it depends on the person. I can eat bize size candies (twix, snickers) with no issue.

Interesting. How come I forget to eat not being funny at all but I ate at 8:30am then at 7pm. I forgot lunch. I forgot a snack. If I'm busy I forget to eat. I get really hungry maybe 3 times out of 7 days. I do eat very healthy when I remember meat & salad. Lots of Water.

I hope after I have surgery it is same with me.

I thought I was a lone in this!! I too feel like a bottomless pit around that time and I am 12 weeks out 51 lbs down. I crave salt and chocolate. But it's like I can munch all day! And crave even more! Good luck to you!

I always want wings so just make cut up chunks of baked chicken with bleu cheese and hot sauce. And a Hershey's kiss or two - just suck on them!

I used to crave salty things the week before but, not anymore. What I have noticed is that my nerves or body shakes alot in the mornings until I get my Vitamins in and some liquids. It's kinda scary sometimes actually. I've actually felt like I wasn't in my body if that makes sense?

I started to feel more cold as I lose more weight.

I was cold all the time in the first 3-4 months....then the TX heatwave hit! I have discovered that if I get too hot, then try to quickly cool off, I pass out....I have had it happen twice! It takes me a bit to "come back" from it, and I need a sugar rush to help me, so I have a Peanut Butter cracker (rather than candy or chocolate), and that seems to help.

Jerrie are you sure those weren't hypoglycemic episodes? But I can't stand the heat now even in dead of winter my window is wide open and a fan sitting in it. Because of this my husband has been sleeping on the couch for years now lol

Yeah especially later on in years if it happens when you start getting hot flashes.

I am 43 and only thing I have noticed so far is I can cry at the drop of a hat. Monthly is still on time and the same but there are a couple months I might have one like every 2 weeks. So I think those are signs too

      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.
