I have hit my 8 month mark and I am just recently have been really struggling on eating. For awhile there I felt "normal" in terms of eating....now I can only eat a cracker and I am done. Has anyone run into this before?

Im only just shy of 3 months and have been eating well but the past 8 days I cant seem to eat even 1/2 of what I was getting used to. I dont understand it.

I think at 8 months out is more normal to start feeling a return of hunger. If this doesn't self correct within a few weeks, I would have it checked out by your surgeon.

I went through this more than 2 years post op. In my case, it turned out to be emotional issue related - but I lost 10# in about 3 weeks and I was already at goal so wasn't trying to lose more. It's all sorted out now, but what I found out in the process is that once you get on a "bad path" it really can become a problem. Meaning, if you get on a path of eating too little and it negatively impacts your health, it can be hard to get it corrected and restore your health.

I eat pretty good at 4 months and have been doing good since 2 months. I can't imagine ever not being able to eat especially 8 months out. I would go to your doctor's office to find out the root of the problem. Doesn't sound normal. Good Luck!

      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.
