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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
