I just want to know what to do if I am not hungry? I know I have to eat but I don't feel up to eating today I had a fill on Monday and since the fill its like I don't wont to eat, im not in any pain, I just don't have an appetite has any one else felt this way, im drinking liquids ok, im just wondering is this natural, I had the lap band with plication I have a 10cc band and I have 8.2cc in my band, can any one give me any advice?

The PA in my office always says "Don't eat when you're not hungry". However, if that starts going into days and days, I would put a little something in my mouth. As long as you're taking in your required liquids, I wouldn't worry about it for a few days. Then, you really need to check your hunger. What I mean by that is do you have a "new hunger"?

The only time in my life where I haven't been hungry is during the flu. Never had that problem, wish I did!

Good luck! I wouldn't force myself to eat for a few days and then, just enuf to satiate you a little if you're still not hungry

eat when hungry, that is what i do

That's the goal is not to be hungry right? That's what the band is suppose to do take away hunger. If your drinking liquids its great because remember that's what you were doing pre op and the first couple of weeks after your surgery.

thanks for the advice, my doctor told me If I don't eat then my body can go into starvation mode,that is my concern, I don't want to start gaining weight because I dong feel up to eating, he said I shouldn't be getting all my calories by liquids, I guess I will give it a few days,

Give it a few more days. Remember you had plication so your stomach is smaller. I would try getting some protein by eating some Greek yogurt and maybe some creamed soups like cream of chicken and then slowly add soft foods like mashed potatoes or mashed up butternut squash. Then start adding small bites of meat, fish and poultry. Good luck to you.

Thank you I will try to take it easy, I did just get a fill on Monday I will take the advice,

Do try and take in enough liquids... in the short term you can do without food, but you must keep your body hydrated!

when in the green zone I wasn't hungry either. But after several occasions where I came home from work and my whole body was trembling from a dip in my blood sugar, I started setting an alarm at work to remind me to have lunch. I wasn't hungry so I didn't eat much but I ate something, because you may not be hungry, but your body needs some food.

thanks for the responses, I think I am in the green zone I have 8.2 in my 10cc band as of this Monday, and I will make sure I get in my liquids and protein, thanks for all the support. :wub:

LUCKY YOU YAY!

Since hitting the Green Zone 2 years ago...I am NEVER hungry...at least I have no interest in food or eating....so I eat very little and not as often....choosing the best healthy foods....

Some people worry about eating...I don't..yet I have more energy now than ever before.

That is how I now live my life from day to day...it's no longer a diet, but a way of life....

I am the same way. I am hardly ever hungry. I now "eat to live" not live to eat! I cam honestly say since my surgery on November 6, I have only been hungry a few tines. I lost all my weight 75 lbs in 7 months. No exercise just eating right. I am amazed when people post on here. Amazed! I had the surgery to lose weight! Like everyone else. But you have to want it to win it!
