i've found myself not eating that much. i don't get very hungry during the day, and sometimes find myself eating maybe 1 yogurt and some milk and water all day. Today i just had a yogurt not because i was hungry but because i'd only had half a smoothie and some milk all day. This isn't very healthy huh? lol i am sure next week when i move on to mushy foods i will be inspired to eat more. Has anyone else had this issue of not being hungry?

Hi:

I'm not sure when you were banded, but you need to make sure you start getting more calories in. It says that you're here in New England and I am too. With the warmer weather coming it's also very important to drink more.

Talk with your doctor about a plan for your nutritional goals. You don't want to starve yourself because it will make you ill, bald, and could hurt your system. Please get some help and guidance from an expert.

Don't be afraid to have what you need to have as the weight will come off. Another issue with not getting enough calories is that you will start to get exhausted all the time. Don't forget your daily Vitamins too (probably liquid for now).

Take care.

for the past few days i had been starving... today i started somewhere inbetween mushies and full liquids. i scooped humus into a measuring cup and the whole day i ate less then 1 cup. i have felt full all day and couldnt eat anymore. but do make sure that you get your water in, last night i felt like my legs were paralized and numb i couldnt sleep all night when i told the nurse today she asked me if i was drinking at least 3 bottles of water a day (and im not) and she very seriously told me that it is very important that i get it in and that it could lead to problems if i dont. so make sure u do that lol im still trying to drink all this water

thanx for the reply. its not that i'm worried about not losing weight, i've only been not eating much simply because i'm not hungry. Drinking all this water is also filling me up. i'm going to talk to my nutritionist asap.

your hunger will return you just have to be patient. You should eat small meals all day long to get your protein in. Good luck.

Too few calories will actually slow down your metabolism and you will slow down your weight loss. Weird, but true. Be sure to eat a sufficient amount of calories, and try to vary your food choices for optimal nutrition. Milk and yougurt are good, but not if that's all you eat. AND DRINK WATER.
