Do I eat if I'm not hungry?



Recommended Posts

I was adjusted last Wednesday and have not really been hungry ever since. I was wondering if I should still eat even if I am not feeling hunger. When I get up in the morning I am not hungry at all. Sometimes by lunch time I still have no desire to eat. I'm worried that if I don't eat three small meals a day then I won't be giving my body what it needs. Is it possible I have too much restriction? My nurse told me to wait about a week and call back if my appetite doesn't come back. Just curious if this has happenend to anybody else and what I should do about it. :help:

Jennibee, congrats on no hunger. If I were you I would try to drink at least a Protein Shake during the day. It is quite common to not have as much hunger after you get filled. You may find that after you lose some additional weight the hunger may return.

Thanks for your suggestions. I am headed to the mall today anyway, I'll pick some up at the Vitamin store. Thanks again!

Regardless of what you eat, make sure you are getting in all the Protein and liquids you need, otherwise you are going to start feeling like crappola really quick. If you don't like the thought of multiple protein "shakes" get the clear Protein Drinks (check out this site... index ) and you can get your required protein that way, if necessary.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      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! 😞
