I do pretty good with my eating during the week when I have a set schedule, but on weekends that all flies out the window. Since surgery I NEVER feel hungry so on weekends, I'm bad about not eating. Anybody else dealing with this? How do yo make yourself remember food when it's become not that big a deal?

I'd love to hear from others about this as well. I forget to eat almost every day - it's after 1pm local and I just now had a Protein shake for Breakfast. I have a coffee habit and since I'm drinking, I tend to put off solids until I remember to eat, which is about the same time I make lunch for the kids.

I love not being hungry but I have a hard time hitting my protein goals.

It's really important that you eat every few hours. Your body is going through alot right now with healing and losing weight. This is basically skipping meals and that is really bad for your metabolism. Skipping meals contributed to how many of us got heavy and couldn't keep it off to begin with. Set an alarm, have a spouse or friend call or text to remind you. Do SOMETHING to make sure you're getting your meals in. It's really important for long term success.

I seriously don't know how anyone forgets to eat, but if you are having that issue, set a timer. Or have someone remind you or send you a text or something.

You really need to make sure that you eat. It is not healthy to go without food!!

I have the same problem, but mine is at work. This morning I got involved in a project and realized that it was noon and I had only had 1 small cup of decaff coffee all morning. Yikes! I am way behind now on my fluids. I try to set my alarm on my phone to remind me to eat or drink, but I don't always remember to set the alarm. On weekends, I tend to be with other people so then I eat when they eat and it works pretty well. I will watch this thread for suggestions. I know its very important to eat three regular meals a day and get in all the fluids. I am going to try to do better!

Thanks for the replies. I know it's not good to forget to eat, but looks like I'm not alone in this struggle. Maybe some of these tips will help.
