Do you make yourself eat something

I recently had an adjustment. I haven't felt like I've hit my sweetspot in a long time but I am not sure if this is it. I can eat a fairly good amount of food, but not a whole lot. But I don't feel hungry at all during the day. I've been trying to eat something, but whenever I do, I feel overfull. If I'm not hungry, should I just not eat. How will I get my grams of Protein in otherwise. Am I to tight if I don't feel hungry?

Not to sure what the sweet spot feels like. Can someone help me??

If you are not hungry. Do NOT eat!

It's really that simple.

And when you do eat, eat only until you are no longer hungry.

Sometimes I can go until night without eating if I am busy and my grandbabies are not around (they are always eating something) I do not think that is healthy but I still just eat what I would have for that meal and not try to make up for the whole day. I hardly ever get hungry unless I have been around some carbs. But I have to have some calories or I will totally stop losing and it is slow enough now.

You are at your sweet spot if you can go 3-4 hours between meals.

Here are a few questions.

Are you pbing at all during the day? Are you living off mostly liquids and mushies? Does food get stuck often? Are you fatigued? Do you have acid reflux during the night?

If you answered no to these then that sounds like a good spot your in

Are you able to stay hydrated? Are you able to eat solids?

If you answered yes to those two questions then it sounds like you have a good fill.

I think you should still eat a little during the day so your not starving your self. That can make you make bad food choices when you are hungry. Focus of high Protein during those meals then.

However be careful, if this fill is causing you to pb often you could be over filled and you could stretch your pouch and would need a complete unfill

After my first fill of 4cc in a 11cc band I only feel a little hungry around 7:00pm. So I eat about 1/2 cup of veggies and meat. To give my body the 60 grams of protein it's needs I take 4 1oz. shots of Pro Stat 64. I has 15 grams of protein per oz. and about 67 calories.
