What time of day do you first get hungry?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am 3 weeks out and find that I am hungry by around 12:30 in the afternoon. I usually try to wait until at least 1:30 before I eat. Right now I am in the dreaded stall and have lost 15 lbs so far. What time of day does everyone else get hungry?

What time are you getting up that you're waiting until about 1:30pm to eat? Unless you're waking up around noon, I would think this isn't a good idea because you're not giving your body nutrients nor are you getting your metabolism kicking by giving it something to digest.

Hi une nouvelle vie,

I wake up round 7:30 am and go to bed around 11:30 pm. I have lunch around 1:30 then a snack around 4 and dinner around 8:30 -that's what time my husband comes home from work.

Yes, I skip breakfast. My doctor told me if I am not hungry don't eat-that it is OK to skip meals.

You are going 17 hours without eating....that's why you are hungry. Anyone would be hungry, sleeve or not. I've never heard of any meal plan (whether you've had surgery or not) where it's healthy to skip breakfast. And sounds like you are only getting 2 meals and 1 snack. I'd be starving! Are you getting at least 60g Protein and 64 oz liquid doing it that way?

I track my food on my fitness pal. I average almost 50g Protein and I am still working on the 64 oz of Water. I will try eating an egg or something small for breakfast and see if that helps move the scale along and increase my protein.

I had to "train" myself to eat breakfast. Usually I'm not very hungry so I have a Protein Shake.

      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.
