Am I Weird?



Recommended Posts

Lately I have been able to drink my morning coffee and I don't eat Breakfast til about 11am. Is this normal? Am I getting a taste of the green zone? Only bad thing is, my food cravings/hunger is worse in the evening, I have to keep myself busy, and there is only so much cleaning and yard work I can do before it's all accomplished lol.

5/28/12 pre-op diet started (217lbs) 6/14/12 Surgery 1.8cc added to 10cc band (205lbs). 7/17/12 1st fill (194lbs). 7/24/12 (191lbs) 7/30/12 (187lbs) 8/14/12 1cc added total of 3.8cc (187) 9/14/12 .3cc added total of 4.1cc (179lbs)

I actually find on the days I drink my skinny caramel macchiato at around 10am and do not eat Breakfast, I can go until mid afternoon before being hungry. I swear if I eat my steel cut oatmeal puck and Greek yogurt, I'm hungry in about four hours.

I would say it's not normal but what is? I've seen similar posts from other bandsters so it happens. I still eat my 3 meals and 2 Snacks a day and I'm hungry much of the time. The band has never stopped my hunger, it's only stopped me from eating too much when I do eat. So, it works for me.

i dont eat in the mornings (as i am not hungry and feel to tight)

i guess since we are all different, we experience different things. like tmf said, what is normal???

like you, i am sure i could eat more in the evenings if i allowed myself but i do make sure

i practice Portion Control and use my (so called) good sense. haha

I drink a shake in the morn I don't eat never did but you need the Protein. At night I make me a smoothie with fruit it helps with the hunger and if I didn't get much protein in the day I add some dry to it.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
