Not hungry at breakfast time

[ReDbEaN 654]

Since I had VSG, I am NEVER hungry in the morning, is this normal? Does anyone else have this. I have been making myself eat but some days it is soooo hard. Just wondering if I am alone with this?

Nope, you're not alone. I don't start getting 'hungry' until after 3pm... It concerns me...

You are not alone. I keep telling myself Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but I struggle too. Usually I'll start the morning off with a 16 oz. glass of Water, then eat. I try to choke down some cottage cheese or greek yogurt, but it often seems like I'm eating brunch, not breakfast.

It is concerning to me as well. The afternoons are always so much better for me. AND I find I am able to eat more in the evenings. I can't even get down a whole egg in the mornings, but in the afternoon I can eat a wheel of cheese and a 1/2 of a cheddar pumpkinseed cracker...It seems way larger than the egg!

I had read about this on this forum before getting sleeved and I asked my surgeon about it. To summarize what he told me:

With the fundus pretty much being removed along with the major part of the gherlin production, the "normal" hunger feelings are going to change. Your body will learn it's signals when nutritionally, you are running short. Take time to learn your body's signals and try to learn what it is you need. Focus on nutritionally balanced meals once your capacity goes up, and the hunger cravings will balance and you will know when to eat.

For the first couple months, I had to set a reminder on my phone as I was always forgetting to eat lunch. But once I found my groove, breakfast, lunch and dinner no longer became chores.

I start my day with a scoop of Protein Powder in my coffee. I'm not hungry in the morning so I don't force myself to eat. I NEVER have a problem reaching my 1240 daily calories or meeting my Protein goals so why force myself to eat in the AM?

I've been resisting the setting alarm idea - it seems counter intuitive to have to remind myself to eat - but it's beginning to make sense.

Don't know about you guys, but I do tend to go more than 2-3 hours between meals, what with the Water drinking and life in general getting in the way.

I work the mid shift but I try to do a yogurt first thing in the morning or Protein Drink since I'm thirstier. It works for me!

All my life I struggled with not being able to eat in the mornings. My sister thinks this contribtes to my weight problems. I wonder whats it gonna be like after the sleeve.

[ReDbEaN 654]

I get hungry in the afternoons...that's not an issue...it's just the mornings that I have to force-feed myself!

Breakfast used to be my best time...now its my hardest time. Its a struggle

I thick this is common. I am 8 months out and don't really feel hungry until 2pm most days.
