Interesting. How come I forget to eat not being funny at all but I ate at 8:30am then at 7pm. I forgot lunch. I forgot a snack. If I'm busy I forget to eat. I get really hungry maybe 3 times out of 7 days. I do eat very healthy when I remember meat & salad. Lots of Water.

I hope after I have surgery it is same with me.

I thought I was a lone in this!! I too feel like a bottomless pit around that time and I am 12 weeks out 51 lbs down. I crave salt and chocolate. But it's like I can munch all day! And crave even more! Good luck to you!

I eat peanut butter crackers and sugar free things and for drinks I still drink soft drinks but all diet or the dr pepper 10 yum

I always want wings so just make cut up chunks of baked chicken with bleu cheese and hot sauce. And a Hershey's kiss or two - just suck on them!

I used to crave salty things the week before but, not anymore. What I have noticed is that my nerves or body shakes alot in the mornings until I get my vitamins in and some liquids. It's kinda scary sometimes actually. I've actually felt like I wasn't in my body if that makes sense?

I started to feel more cold as I lose more weight.

I was cold all the time in the first 3-4 months....then the TX heatwave hit! I have discovered that if I get too hot, then try to quickly cool off, I pass out....I have had it happen twice! It takes me a bit to "come back" from it, and I need a sugar rush to help me, so I have a Peanut Butter cracker (rather than candy or chocolate), and that seems to help.

Jerrie are you sure those weren't hypoglycemic episodes? But I can't stand the heat now even in dead of winter my window is wide open and a fan sitting in it. Because of this my husband has been sleeping on the couch for years now lol

They might be. Both my PCP and my surgeon are puzzled.

Me too! Not fun worrying about being too hot and passing out!

Yeah especially later on in years if it happens when you start getting hot flashes.

And I'm fast approaching that age....my grandma was 36 and my mom was 41 when they started menopause. I will be 40 this month.

I am 43 and only thing I have noticed so far is I can cry at the drop of a hat. Monthly is still on time and the same but there are a couple months I might have one like every 2 weeks. So I think those are signs too
