What time of day do you first get hungry?



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I am 3 weeks out and find that I am hungry by around 12:30 in the afternoon. I usually try to wait until at least 1:30 before I eat. Right now I am in the dreaded stall and have lost 15 lbs so far. What time of day does everyone else get hungry?

What time are you getting up that you're waiting until about 1:30pm to eat? Unless you're waking up around noon, I would think this isn't a good idea because you're not giving your body nutrients nor are you getting your metabolism kicking by giving it something to digest.

Hi une nouvelle vie,

I wake up round 7:30 am and go to bed around 11:30 pm. I have lunch around 1:30 then a snack around 4 and dinner around 8:30 -that's what time my husband comes home from work.

Yes, I skip breakfast. My doctor told me if I am not hungry don't eat-that it is OK to skip meals.

You are going 17 hours without eating....that's why you are hungry. Anyone would be hungry, sleeve or not. I've never heard of any meal plan (whether you've had surgery or not) where it's healthy to skip breakfast. And sounds like you are only getting 2 meals and 1 snack. I'd be starving! Are you getting at least 60g Protein and 64 oz liquid doing it that way?

I track my food on my fitness pal. I average almost 50g Protein and I am still working on the 64 oz of Water. I will try eating an egg or something small for breakfast and see if that helps move the scale along and increase my protein.

I had to "train" myself to eat breakfast. Usually I'm not very hungry so I have a Protein Shake.

      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?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
