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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
