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.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
