I forgot to eat today



Recommended Posts

K - this is such an odd thing for me. I'm 5 weeks post op and today was busy at work and simply forgot to eat. I realized when I was about to eat dinner. I did drink my Protein Shake an my chicken Unjury and am now having my last Protein Drink. I just thought I would share because I have never forgotten to eat in my life.

That happened to me yesterday for the first time as well. Was very light headed and dizzy, at the end of the day at the office. Realized then that I had not eaten since 7am. I wasn't hungry but obviously my body was telling me something. I also hadn't had time to drink much Water either so the combined effect wasn't great. At least I had my lunch in the fridge so had that before heading off home.

Amazing, because pre surgery I would have been starving

Wow! I guess this is something I can look forward to happening to me. However, make sure you take the proper steps in the future to prevent side effects.

I guess since I had been drinking my Protein and Water throughout the day I didn't feel light- headed or anything. I had lunch in the fridge there (chicken salad) just totally forgot to eat it. I wasn't happy about forgetting as I know I need more calories but it felt so weird to know that I had actually forgotten about food. :) I guess it is fairly common though.

      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.
