How do you know you not eating enough.



Recommended Posts

How will I know if Im not eating enough? I was told to eat when stomach growled, This has not happened and I get a weird feeling. I drank a Protein shake for Breakfast, I eat a Protein Bar around 12 noon, then for supper I eat some roasted chicken and have a snack of cheese. Let me know your expenince, I never feel what I used to know as hungry. all is different now.

my dr and nut said I should be eating around 600-800 cal a day. I measure my food and I keep up with it on mfp and mfp always tell I have not ate enough. I am full, I have a shake for Breakfast, a snack, lunch and sometimes I eat dinner and sometimes I don't I have a shake. I try to stay on a schedule m-f when Im at work because Im not hungry Im just eating to the schedule so I can get my Vitamins, nutrients and Protein in. On the weekend I don't follow a schedule and sometime I forget to eat because Im not hungry and my cal intake is less than 600 some weekends. I usually burp while eating and feel tired and I know im full and I stop eating :)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
