Why Am I Eating When I Am Not Hungry?



Recommended Posts

Why oh why!! I feel like I am falling back into my old habits. I find myself eating when I am not hungry. I am 10 weeks out, and I am not losing weight as fast as I would like, so I think I am just getting depressed about it and find myself eating. Granted, I can't eat as much as I used to, but still!! Why am I doing this. Grrr

You said it yourself - habit. So, time to make a new one. Find out why you're eating when you're not hungry. Are you bored? Tired? Thirsty? When you notice you're eating, stop and go do something else. Replace it with something healthy like walking (which also helps reduce hunger so bonus!). Nobody has to tell you that this is a tool, not a fix. If we don't change the habits that got us here in the first place, the surgery is for nothing. Don't beat yourself up, don't be hard on yourself, but you're the only one who can make the decision to change.

Old habits are hard to break. I'm 6mths out and feel like I'm losing control. I'm down 97lbs but totally messing up. I eat whatever and whenever. We need to get a grip.

Hey Shelly I am 10.5 weeks and found I was doing the same thing eating at night but not hungry. So I stopped having so many Snacks, started taking a prevacid type medicine and bingo I am really now not hungry don't want to eat at night. So what I found is that 6 small meals is too much I didn't need it. My weight loss is great and I couldn't be happier. Give it a try. You can do this!!

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?
