@Bratface1005: Hello! Yes. I feel the same way. I am not hungry in the morning nor by lunch. However, I eat in response to weakness. Now yesterday I had a boiled egg for Breakfast and then I did not eat again until dinner. However, after I ate dinner, about two hours later I was hungry again. It's a little annoying but I guess we just have to adjust to the changes in our digestive system and try to make sure we take in enough nutrients. My suggestion is, if you are still hungry that you eat something very low in calories. Plus, we are supposed to condition ourselves to eat six small meals a day when we are in the maintenance phase. So even if you are not hungry, eat on a schedule and see how that works.

Had my 6 week post op yesterday. They told me that the not wanting to eat in the morning is normal. But I need to force myself to eat as not eating will only make it worse. They are very happy with my weight loss.

Hi everybody! It's been awhile since I've touched base. How's everyone doing??? I'm down 45lbs, staying on program and only eating what I should and getting about 4 days of exercise a week. I have my energy back and thankfully I have not thrown up even once since surgery! I'm excited for continuation of our journey and our progress! Hope everyone is doing well.

Morning and thanks tiredmama for the 2 month aniversary reminder. It's wonderful watching the weight slowly disappear! I lost 32 lbs since the surgery and a total of 65 lbs since I started this journey. Yesterday, my husband and I rented kayaks and paddling around for a while--I wouldn't have been able to do that before surgery. Hope everyone else is during well.

      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.
