@Bratface1005: Hello! Yes. I feel the same way. I am not hungry in the morning nor by lunch. However, I eat in response to weakness. Now yesterday I had a boiled egg for Breakfast and then I did not eat again until dinner. However, after I ate dinner, about two hours later I was hungry again. It's a little annoying but I guess we just have to adjust to the changes in our digestive system and try to make sure we take in enough nutrients. My suggestion is, if you are still hungry that you eat something very low in calories. Plus, we are supposed to condition ourselves to eat six small meals a day when we are in the maintenance phase. So even if you are not hungry, eat on a schedule and see how that works.

Had my 6 week post op yesterday. They told me that the not wanting to eat in the morning is normal. But I need to force myself to eat as not eating will only make it worse. They are very happy with my weight loss.

I have not been to any of the meetings yet, but I will be attending the one on the 16th. Do a lot of pre op folks attend those meetings?

I only have attended one so far. I believe there were some people who hadn't had their surgery yet. I will be there maybe we will meet.

Northern VA here - Once approved, I will have my surgery @ Inova Fair Oaks.

They are great at fair oaks. I had my surgery there. Have you attended the monthly meeting. I think the next meeting is on the 16th.

Hey Bratface 1005, just wanted to say Hello and hope things are going good for you. Did you have any problems with your surgery? Mine won't be till years end if I don't chicken out.

Surgery went great. So far no problems. Very happy with this surgery. My advise is do it. It's something you have to get use to but I am much happier now then I was eating everything I use too. I am about 5 weeks out and feel soooooo much better.

At my 6 week follow uo they told me to start trying meats. When did yall try hamburger?

They told me in mooshie phase I could have ground beef as long as it was chewed or mashed up good before swallowing.

hello all- i have been reading post but not replying. my surgery was June 30. Lost 12.5 lbs pre-op. i started at 285. total lost now is 35.5lbs. Having trould eating and getting enough Water down. i also hate the Vitamins. Going to start working out this weekend. Had a plan to start on my birthday but hubby ended up in the hospital due to a tia or mini stroke.... he is home now so I am back to paying attention to my diet and exercise. what exercises would you all recommend for a newbie?

How is everyone? I have a question for you all. Does anyone else feel no desire to eat in the morning or even lunch but at dinner feel like you want to eat dinner than 2 hours later feel hungry again. I have tried to eat dinner them when I get hungry drink the Protein Shake but I am still hungry.
