Hi everyone.

I just wanna ask you all. I am 8 weeks post op.. Do you make yourself eat throughout the day even if you dont feel hungry. I know we need our Water and Protein so many times i make myself eat so i can get the Protein in my body. What do you guys do in this situation??? Help

I'm 5 months out. I try to eat about every 3 hours, even when I'm not hungry. It could only be a bite or two, but I do eat.

I make sure to eat even when I'm not hungry every three hours or so. If I don't then I sometimes get sick or light headed. It doesn't have to be a full meal. Just a light snack, and I feel great!

I have 6 alarms set on my phone. It really helps me remember to eat. I try to get most of my calories in during the first 2 meals of the day, then work downwards from there. I can almost do it now without the alarms, but it helps as a reminder. Sort of Pavlovian, but works for me.

I've always eaten every 3 hours in small amounts and I don't eat after 7:00pm..... :)

Yes I usually eat 5-6 times a day not because I'M hungry but because I need my nutrition.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
