Having trouble finding appetite



Recommended Posts

So I wouldn't count this as a bad thing necessarily but.. I don't feel like I want to eat at all. I stopped eating sugar and carbs about a week ago. Two days ago I ate 1/2 cup chicken salad with some franks hot sauce midday and went to bed. Yesterday, I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast, a hard boiled egg at lunch and I ordered dinner, waited an hour, took one bite and got stuck so I put it in the fridge. Still not hungry. I'm just making sure I get my fluids in. Maybe this is a side effect of the low carb and band together idk. I don't want to make myself sick though. Not sure what to do.

I'd say, BE HAPPY! ENJOY! You say you're getting in plenty of liquids. Some people talk about losing all sensation of hunger... and they seem to be doing quite well.

I'd be asking my doctor about this myself...but I am new at this...hope you get to doing better soon. Maybe catfish87 is right...I don't really know...but if it goes on for a longtime...I would consider just asking the doc about it...at least he/she could tell you if that's normal or not. will be keeping you in my thoughts.

      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.
