Strange Problem

Hello all, Friday morning when I woke up ... I wasn't hungry. I ate my normal protein breakfast and went to work. Lunch time came and went and about 3:00 I wasn't hungry but I ate some chicken & veggies. Dinner came and went and I didn't eat. Saturday came and I wasn't hungry. I had 2 protein shakes (100 calories with 12 g of protein) throughout the day. For dinner, I made myself eat a piece of lasagna (made low carb with eggplant and fat free ricotta). Sunday came and the same thing... no hunger. Again, I've made myself drink 2 protein shakes. With one of the shakes... I could only drink about 4 oz of it. I feel full and feverish (though I took my temp and it is fine). I'm also burping with everything I drink (this is new). Should I continue to "force" myself to eat or just let nature take it's course and only eat when hungry? What do you think? Jackie

I did this same thing about two weeks ago I just made sure I kept myself hydrated and I ended up losing 14 lbs in 7 days, up until that point I had only been losing about 5 lbs a month so I don't know if it was the end of a plateau or what. Kathy 318.5/137.5/-121 lbs

Hi Jackie... I have never had that problem (except newly post-op) so I have no idea... but I do think you should continue to force water. I would think the protein drinks are fine until this passes though. Hey, by the way... CAN YOU BREATHE ON ME OR SOMETHING??? LOL I'd love to get rid of this hunger for a while to move me off my plateau! Pam

HI, I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT SOMEKIND OF BLOCKAGE. I WOULD BE SURE TO GET IN LIQUIDS,TO HELP FLUSH OUT AND TO STAY HYDRATED. BUT THE PROTEIN IS HARDER TO DIGEST,THE BARS AND CHEESES MAY ONLY MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE. A WOMEN IN MY SUPPORT GROUP HAD A BLOCKAGE, SHE SAID SHE DIDNT HAVE A BOWL MOVEMENT FOR SIX WEEKS AND THEN STARTED VOMITING UP EVERYTHING SHE ATE. I THOUGHT TO MYSELF WHY DID THEY LET IT GO SO LONG? SHE ENDED UP BACK IN SURGERY. ANY WAY PTOTEIN DOES CAUSE CONSTIPATION SO I THINK U SHOULD CALL WLS. ANGEL
