Not Feeling Hungry



Recommended Posts

I havnt' been feeling very hungry lately. Is it best to eat anyway to get the calories in, or not eat if your hungry? I've heard both sides?

That's a really tough question. I'm sure you're going to get a lot of varying answers.

As for myself, I was told by my doctor to only eat when physically hungry. However, if I don't get enough nutrients and calories, not only do I get dizzy and sick feeling but my weight loss will also come to a screeching halt. So if I realize I've gone all day without eating I drink a Protein shake that's high in both Vitamins and Protein. This way I don't get that sick feeling and my body is still getting what it needs.

Stay hydrated. That's very important. And like Mis said you still need to be aware of protein/nutrients/vitamins. But IMO it is ok to eat less (or fewer times) than your doctor recommends.

It's a good feeling, isn't it??? I have to remind myself to eat....I never get hungry 24/7.....

I have gone full 24hr days without eating, if I am very busy at work, traveling, etc....usually it is my Wife who insists it is time to eat....

So when I do eat, I make sure I make the best of it...Good, wise food choices....not worrying about the calories....

Protein and Water....protein and water....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
